There's Ford Blue, Chrysler Blue, Chevrolet Orange, and all that stuff. What did AMC have?

I need paint for my block, valve cover, oil pan and what not, but would like to know what AMC's color is, since it's a 2.5.

Uh, uh.

I've been messin' with AMC vehicles since before there even was an AMC (I started with Hudsons). That color, unless the photo distorted it big time, is way too bright. The AMC engine blue was a metallic medium blue that might best be described as leaning a bit toward teal. It certainly wasn't a bright BLUE like in that photo.

Yeah - I seem to recall AMC blue being a little more dark and having a touch more green to it - but that colour sure is purtyful!

Eastwood, y'say?

The chart says late models are black???

I vote for Daytona yellow. I can see the oil dripping off the pan easier.

84 up AMC XJ's were black. I had an 84 4 cyl, & have an 87, 89, & two 90's with 6 cyl and all were black.
