Peeling paint

[DarrenC]

Good afternoon all and happy holidays to everyone. I have peeling paint on my cat diesel 3126 motors and generator. Looking to see what paint would work best? Brush on or spray paint? Kind, brand? Thank you.

Scrape, wire brush and Ospho the areas in question to stop the rust. Then you can hit it with spray paint. I use CAT and Westerbeke branded paint because I added a can or two to an existing parts order, but they are expensive. I don’t have the generic paint crossover list handy, but somebody will chime in.

I use Nissan Paris White, as suggested by @fwebster.

found this from him too: 1959 Ford Torch Red; Ford color code # MO175
