I found what I needed when a post referenced Herschel Paints. I browsed the Hirs h website and the list the blue green color for the 40-57. I purchased!

The early Pontiac engine color is a rather unattractive green.

Bill Hirsch Auto carries most all paints. Check at: http://www.hirschauto.com/

Oddly their listing stops at 1939 for Pontiac, and I always though all the Pontiacs from mid-30s through at least late-40s were the same, but I may be wrong.

The screen shot below is from: http://www.pontiacpower.org/enginecolor.htm Note they too are a little confused. I don't remember ever seeing the "aqua" color they show. I have only seen the darker green.

I would call Hirsch (Phone 973-642-2404 / Toll Free USA Only 800-828-2061) and get their advice. They have been doing this forever.
