I know that Mopar Performance used to sell race hemi orange paint, but was a crap shoot if it would spray properly! It is pathetic that a company bearing the Mopar name has such poor quality control.

I have a dumb question but what did they call the orange they used on the Max Wedge engines from 62 to 64 since the 426 Hemi was not out yet ?? I dont think it was called Hemi orange in 62 or 63 ? I am enjoying following this just to be sure some things are about right on my 63 even if its a original 383 car I still like to have as much right as I can. So I hope you dont mind me following this post also ? grin Ron See my post a couple above yours. They didn't have a particular color code that I know of but Max Wedges were the same pale pumpkin orange that was used on all 64-68 Race Hemis, as well as all 1966-1968 (and some 69) Street Hemis. Today most refer to it as "Race Hemi Orange". All other big blocks in B-bodies of the early 60's era were turquoise blue

Sorry, speaking of Hemi's and Max Wedges only, 383's and 440's past 1967 were a different deal but yes, 69 383's were Street Hemi Orange, same year it was first used on Street Hemis. wasn't that just the 335hp 4bbl engine only ? wasn't the 300[?] 4bbl engine still turquoise ?
