Nice color on that Cummins. Looks like "Cummins Beige" to me. They put the color on the bigger industrial engines. A friend of mine wants to paint his the same color when the engine finally craps out way down the road. I believe Cummins also paints their blocks/heads a dark and bright red color. cool
