I am in the process of rebuilding a more powerful spare engine for my 100/6, when I removed the clutch and rear engine plate the paint on the engine block behind the rear plate was red instead of the anticipated Healey metallic green, why would it be red ?

Inside the engine is painted red. Healey metallic green was painted when the engine was fully assembled. Even the fan belt got some metallic green paint.

Can either of you recommend who sells the most accurate external green engine paint for the 100/6 3000 engine ? and which paint is the easiest to apply and wears the best ?

I can'r comment on whether it is the most accurate, but I bought my engine paint from AH Spares, both the can and aerosol. I had the block spray painted with paint from the can and used the aerosol for touch-up or ancillaries which weren't attached at the time of painting. I am happy with the finish ....  |
