Anyone have the paint code for the street hemi orange color? Painting the motor is the next step in my restoration.

There are a couple rattle can options that are decent but If you want a factory correct match buy some paint from Frank Badelson sixpackfrank@aol.com

I have a great painter who likes to mix his own stuff. Thought someone here might know the codes.

If you use Frank's paint, be sure to spray it over a bare block.
Don't add any hardeners to it - just reduce as instructed.

It is old school enamel paint.

Works wonderfully - looks spot on.
I painted my engine six years ago and there is not one spot anywhere it peeled or cracked etc...

Call Frank, cause there were two shades of Hemi Orange, early, and late. I don't remember the date breakdown, sorry. Also if you had a orange air cleaner lid it was different to.
