I checked the colors, and both the hangers and engine block are kind of an grimy black/brown. I think what you wanted to know are the colors under the grime. After some cleaning, the engine hangers have a few flecks of black paint; I can't be sure but the paint looks like it might be glossy. The engine block looks like the standard Ford blue. Definitely not a dark blue or a light blue. I can sent you a pic if you are interested.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152658"><span>- Randy</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152657"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152570" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152569"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152568"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152567"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152664"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152663"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Ron Fraser via Tigers <tigers@autox.team.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> tigers@Autox.Team.Net <br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152668"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152667">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, January 22, 2017 9:40 AM<br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152671"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152670">Subject:</span></b> [Tigers] Mk II engine color<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484986912787_152930"><br><div id="yiv2363179907"><style><!--
