RE: {Chrysler 300} 300g Paint



Bob-

When did they switch to copper heater pipes under the rams instead of hoses as they did in 60?

Here’s the 300G engine factory photo.  That radiator looks like gloss black to me, not sure of the horns though.

I agree with Don.  My research over the years in cleaning up and examining original 300G engine parts has yielded a gloss finish.  Not a beautiful perfect black high gloss finish, but rather a factory gloss black paint sprayed directly on the block and valve covers, no primer.  

 

Now, what about the radiator?  I’ll bet there are several opinions on that and I’m holding off on commenting, as I cannot say I’ve ever seen a 300G radiator that hasn’t been worked on.  My 300G radiator is gloss black, and I prefer it that way, but I am not 100% certain it came from the factory that way.

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
