Chevy orange engine paint ?
OK guys - again ..... EASY on me here !!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]
I'm gearing up to build the 427 for the Biscayne, and I may be able to swing the 427 build in parallel with the Certified motor put-together for my W-31. I'm gathering 427 parts as we speak ......... The newbie Chevy question of the day: What's the best, and most correct flavor of Chevy orange engine enamel ? I know with Olds motors, the correct Olds gold engine enamel is about $20/can. The other, *off-the-shelf* paints are no where near the proper *hue*. With Mopars, there are several acceptable suppliers out there. I may have this thing ready to do battle in the spring at the Factory Stock race....... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] |

70 views, and NO ONE has an opinion on quality engine enamels ?? Off-the-shelf DupliColor spray bombs ???

Well, I was gonna wait for the correct answer from someone, but we just spray bomb it. We have a quart of real paint, but it's been on the shelf for years...it's a LOT easier to shake a can than set up (then clean) a paint gun!

Re: Chevy orange engine paint ?
Bob, I have used it twice and really like it. It is a little shinier than the rattle cans, but is is really easy to clean and touch up. I think the color is close for the Chev Orange. A F**# friend of mine says the blue color in POR 15 is not close to original. Jim
