Detroit Diesel White Paint?

Rust-Oleum gloss white. Brushed or micro sprayed.
Not from their spray can unless you want Everything covered in white.

There was a Cat owner who wanted factory Cat white. Comes one part also in gallon (only) cans.
I can not find the Cat part number.
I'm sure there is an MTU/Detroit part number also for their white paint.

With my eyes, I can not tell any difference between the Cat & Rust-Oleum paints (wet, dry, new, old).

10 years ago I painted my 12V71TIs with the Rust-oleum gloss white. Used up just over 2 qts for both mains & clutches.
Some to cover old Detroit Green on some replacement parts.
All still looks great.

The un-cooled exhaust pipe from the head to the water cooled log (manifold) will burn off any paint.
You will smell a burnt paint odor for a bit so don't try to pile up paint on these areas and lessen the concerned operator smelling something burning..
Use your boat and this exposed area never turns into a rust issue. Usually a nice and heavy cast iron pipe here.
Water cooled turbos can be painted also.

IMO, never paint a dry turbo. Even header paint will make a smell that will concern you till it's gone.
Wire brush them, wash with soap and water. air dry, (compressed helps). Re-cover with the ole Detroit foil covers or your later blankets when they are real dry.
Never run dry turbos with out some kind of (REAL) heat shield on them.
No wd-40, Bo-Shield, corrosion block, oil from your hands or paint on the un-painted turbo.
Use you boat and these areas will stay toasty , dry and should not rust up (much).

I was trying to suggest staying away from the canned spray paint.
The cans of Cat paint (not spray) only comes in gallons.
The Rust-Oleum does come in quarts.

Easy to clean from the black after cooler housing, black air tubes, black rocker covers, fuel lines, water lines, serial number tags, pulley & belt covers, starters, alternators, heat exchangers, motor mounts & black mesh wire harnesses?
Or any other device in the E R? OR exhaust fan blades?

The last thing I want anybody to think about in my ERs, is aerosol overhaul.

We do not use spray paint cans in, on or around any of the boats we work on.

Hang on, I forgot we were talking about old Detroits.
Some of my above examples may not apply.
I went off in Cat world. Cummins may apply to my comments also.

Hard to say. Who knows what brand of paint is on there now.
DD didn't start using white till later Penski years. J/T, Covington, Pan-tropic and others had their own shade of white. I remember a double long block combo painted red.

After a few months, if it doesn't match at first, it will.

If your really concerned, purchase a pint of Rust-Oleum. Put in on various places and get back to us after a few hours of operation.
