Re: {Chrysler 300} 300g Paint

Hi Mike,

The engine was gloss black when new. They may fade to a duller black as they age, but were not semi gloss from new. Chrysler didn't use primer on the engines, and prep was probably not the greatest. You can use primer yourself, just not to thick. Bill Hirsch makes the best engine paint.

The rams are Buick red engine enamel, or Cummins apex red.

Steering box should be natural steel.

The transmission is NOT painted. The bell housing usually has some black over spray or might be completely black. Your choice.

Don

Hello all I’m reinstalling the engine, transmission and power steering box in my 61 300g.

What color paint and paint type should I use on the power steering box, engine and transmission? What color should the ram tubes be? They are red, but what color?

Should I use a primer before applying the paint?

I reassembled the steering coupler I’ll share pics of how I made the copper and plastic insert.

Thanks Don Verity for rebuilding the PS box and Transmission.

Thanks Mike
