Ames sells the blue jack paint for $8.50 a can. Product number FK263. Used on the jack base, mechanism and handle. Don't know if that helps or not.

Huge debate. There are 3 versions: Standard black, Ford 6 cylinder engine color (powder blue), and Ford 8 cylinder dark blue.

I bought a restored jack for a 1st Gen and got Powder Blue. I swear my faded orginal jack is Ford Dark Blue.

2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.

I recently purchased an original GM jack with the correct part number in pristine condition. The jack mechanism is black and base was a grey color.

Every time the question comes up, multiple colors seem to be the answer. I know my factory original handle, stand, and jack mechanism are all blue.

Maybe someone can find out what color a Camaro jack is supposed to be. It seems to me that since the two cars were built in the same plant, some pillaging would have gone on if one side had run out of jack bases and the other side still had some.

I just picked one up on e-bay for $35 plus shipping. It looks great but the color matches the Pontiac engine blue, I don't think that is correct. But I can remedy that.
