In my opinion the difference between Plasti-kote and Duplicolor is fairly minimal. The difference between those two and EN-48 is significant at a minimum. I just do not know what would be correct. Restorations mostly show EN-48 or something similar in hue it appears.
I wonder if anyone has an untouched block from yesteryear and a block finished in EN-48 for comparison that they could post. To me EN-48 is red with a very slight orange hue. The pics of the blocks with EN-48 in this thread at least on my computer, do not accurately indicate the color that you see in person. The pics in this thread to me look a fair amount more orange than it really is. JMO.

427 yenko i personally contacted Jerry MacNeish top Camaro restoration guru in the Country via email. I asked Jerry what Chevy orange paint he recommended. The EN-48 orange paint by Seymour. Its his choice for engine paint. If i am going to take anyone's word for it about my paint question Jerry MacNeish would be my only source. Everyone has opinions and choices what they used and if they are happy with their choice, use it. I was one of those guys who saw Chevy engine orange paint manufactured by different companies. I got tired of guessing what was best and what orange was factory correct. Jerry answered my questions. What i liked about this paint to it dried fairly quickly and holds up great again heat.
