I painted a part off the engine yesterday to see what the color would look like. Didn't come out how I thought it would, it's got a green tint to it. It's supposed to be dark safety yellow and a close match to the factory color. Here's a pic after 3 coats. I'm thinking grey primer isn't a good idea for the rest of the parts now. Any recommendations on primer color?

Also got the piston rings on the piston and going to put it in the block next.

Update:

I wire wheeled and prepped the oil pan for painting. I painted it with black VHT high heat engine enamel. It came out looking pretty good, still have to put it in the oven and bake it to fully cure. Double checked camshaft end play, its within spec. Still have to torque the bearing plate to final torque and double check the crank end play. After that I'm going to slip the piston in the block. Everything seems to be going smoothly so far.

Unless that pan is cast iron I'd keep it out of the oven! You may warp it or melt it if your not careful.

Yep it is cast iron, and I baked it at 200 degrees Fahrenheit per the paint manufacturer. I also primed the block with red oxide color primer today.

I painted the block Krylon industrial Federal Yellow. Here's a pic of it. Do you guys think it's a close match to the factory yellow?

Doesn't look it to me... But it's hard to tell from a picture on a puter.
Could be the lighting. Here is a picture of the Case/IH Federal Yellow.

the paint either isn't orange enough or you dont have enough on to have full coverage.

Doesn't look right to me either. Yellow is hard to get good coverage. I used yellow primer on part of my cub.
