LOOKING FOR A MODERN DAY ORANGE ENGINE PAINT

LOOKING FOR A MODERN DAY ORANGE ENGINE PAINT - 07/31/12 10:26 PM

A real good guy I know gave me a paint formula for Street Hemi Orange paint.
Local paint shops don't have all the tints anymore.
Anyone have a good Hemi Orange Paint they spray their engines with?

I don't want correct Roger Gibson paint that dries dull and looks like crap.

I want over restored shinny single stage paint. See my attachment

The paint I had good results with in the past and I can't seem to get filled was a PPG DCC Acrylic Urethane in Quart form.
Thanks Ron

Ron..

If you use Badalson/Gibson paint and you want the effect you desire, just add some DXR80(DuPont), along with the proper ratio of reducer. DXR 80 is a gloss hardener. Follow the directions and the paint will come out shiny and very durable. I havent really found anyone local that can produce a correct color. I use the paint from Badalson/Gibson. Works great.

I use Badalson's orange and you can judge the results yourself. Note: Its hard to capture the shade of orange, but trust me, its nice.

Your paint on that engine looks real nice.
Did you use a certain Hardner like MIke had said??

Here is an engine shot of an A12 Bee that I did a while back...Badalson paint with hardener. I do have an advantage of baking it in the booth at the body shop next door. I like them a bit shiny and overrestored, too. The gloss hardener will make that paint extremely durable as well.

I went directly over Badalson single stage with PPG 2002 clear. It's very, VERY shiny and tough. The fronts of the heads and valve covers were color sanded and buffed.
