Guys, My last resort here.....I thought I had something that was a "Transparent Blue" that was "close" to NOS Blue, used on their bottles for the Nitrous Oxide Systems color blue, Turns out, I thought it was Testors oil-based enamels..I don't, I could have swore I had something, anything..... ANYONE know of a company that makes transparent blue to sort of replicate that used on the real bottles? See pic: If you know of a color, GREAT please let me know! ALSO, any one have a set of extra decals, emblems for "NOS" ? I'd be interested if ya have a good set of spares! I figured if anyone knew, someone on this board could point me in the right direction! They will be used in conjunction with the "plates" I'm making for a single engine with dual 4 barrels, and dual NOS bottles! The bottles, IF I have too, will be turned from Aluminum stock, that I have, all the rest of the detail, I've got a pretty good idea, I'm gonna have to make custom as well! As always, THANKS for looking and any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure Duplicolor makes anodizing colors, like blue, red and maybe silver. Otherwise you could try making a sorta "wash" if you found a proper blue. Also you could check out Alclads line of paints, I think they have a blue for exhaust discoloring that would work well too. Hope that helps give you a little direction John!

-Jesse, I was afraid to hear/read that! LOL I say this as no place local to me carries Duplicolor paints or will even hear to order them, for me!
I got an idea tho, I have a "regular" blue color, wonder if I took it and serious thinned it down to a "wash" over a turned and polished Aluminum bottle to make it "look" the part, I might give that a try on a scrap piece of aluminum, and polish it first to see what happens.....
I'll be back in awhile off to try this idea! THEN I'll just have to cough up a couple decals!
EDIT:
This posting is the LARGEST Mopar "Poly-Head engine made. AKA "326"!!!!!

Mix your blue with some clear mate, more clear than blue though.

Theres an idea! Will try! All I can do at this rate, is play.....I'm using REAL metal Aluminum, as the part so.... it will be polished before the paint goes on....
See if I don't like it, (the color, I can remove it from the Aluminum, easily....And then try another way....NOT on the bottles once they're turned, I'm using a scrap polished Aluminum slug to try this out to see what best suits the look I'm after.....
