Frank Badelson sells the best match Ive seen witbout doing a custom match.

You will be shocked and amazed. Matched almost perfectly. Well this is why I'm asking. I was at Levines (which is a small, local chain) and saw a can of paint with a top that looked like a dead match. Obviously it wouldn't be the same as the top, but it is close. The brand is Seymour, it is a high temp paint. The color was Detroit Diesel Green. I sprayed it on some stuff, it looks decent but its not perfect. WAY better than the Mopar stuff. Just wondering what else is out there. Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street
