where to buy prussian blue gear compound

I tried Napa and they say they dont have any ??
then I called randys and the said they dont have any either??
the also said its not a "gear marking compound" its a mechanic dye ??
so where do I get this stuff??

Prussian...not Persian...
Maybe that will help.
Is it that important?
Does the color yellow cause you problems?
Either way...its Prussian.

If it is a "machinist's dye" you may find it at www.mcmaster.com

Gear marking compound works much better, and the stuff GM uses is the best, just ask for it at the parts counter.

I also use the GM, its yellow but that's fine, easier to see. I have also used(many times) yellow artists oil paint mixed with a bit of gear oil. Works quite well.

for real, how bad is the yellow stuff? I think it comes out just fine :star:

Beezelbub was referring to Prussian Blue ACRYLIC OIL PAINT found hiding in a small tube on a shelf at your local arts & crafts emporium.

cLAYH likes the mello yello, BJ likes the baby blue, I'd be the goofer and mix em both for groovy green... but I have some MOPAR stuff on hand so that's what I'd use first.

while this isnt too bad I would rather look at this kind of pattern

Meh, fair enough... but my gears are bigger than your gears! :laugh3:

I got some prussian blue at NAPA, but it NEVER gave me a distinctive pattern like VegasAnthony posted! I much preferred the yellow stuff, but my gear kit didn't come with any and I couldn't find any locally Chevy/Dodge/Jeep dealer included. Jeff

I have used both, the blue shows up ok on used gears but I can't see it on new gears sets because most are black.

I work at NAPA in Indiana and we have it.My guess you spoke to someone that didnt know what you wanted. Dam kids

1toughxj · Oct 19, 2005

I thought it looked familiar.

Permatex PRUSSIAN blue marking compound is NAPA part 765-1527 we must be selling it to somebody because we stock it.
