Would like to repaint my air cleaner assembly. Is there a correct (or close) blue color that I could buy locally at say a Walmart or somewhere?

I have used a product made by Seymour. Spruce 473 98-56 FORD/MUSTANG BLUE ENGINE ENAMEL. Very happy with it. Correct color and durable.
Here is a pic of my daughter's engine after about 2 1/2 years and 21k miles.

It now has 95k+ miles after 9 years and still looks good.

Plasti-Kote Engine Enamel No. 224 Ford Blue (I got at Advance Auto Stores )is perfect

Would this be for the older "darker" blue?

Good Old Ford Corporate Blue. What year you doing? This blue has been around I know since the later 65 models Replaced the black before that.

#224 is the "Ford corporate blue" which is the darker one used
from 1966 to 1980 or so, then they changed to gray.

#205 is the lighter Ford blue which was used on 260's on 64 and older.

Look at them both side by side and you will see the difference.

There's a huge difference. 64 and prior is almost a baby blue. The really dark, like a navy blue was Cheb.
