Seems like a no-brainer. My 6 year-old rattlecan died while I was painting some mounts this morning. I googled it. Summitt Racing - not in stock; Jegs - not in stock. Everywhere I clicked, genuine Mopar Hemi Orange paint (the street hemi color; not race hemi) is out of stock, minimum of a month, but some say "notify when available". I see YearOne has a mix they say is the same color, but I was hoping for the Mopar version. Anybody have a source?

Someone also asked, a week or two, ago.

Did you call Mananci? They list it

Jegs has it.

"NO ETA" that means back ordered or discontinued. Just went through this with JEGS on some MP 440 emblems. Got back ordered emails for months. But they will let you order it.

I have always been happy with Pasticoat on the rattle can stuff.

advance auto, duplicolor.

I have used (and still have) the MP street Hemi Orange from Mancini. Has worked fine for me. Currently shows out of stock at Mancini by my check. Worth trying Plasticote?

Been on back order for like 3 months

Rustoleum stopped making Hemi Orange also

Thanks for the info. Barton painted my engine. I'm just doing the mounts now.

I have found duplicolor to be a lot thinner then plastikote but its stocked at every national retail outlet there is. Plastikote has better coverage but hard to find, most Car Quests carry it but likely only Chevy orange on the shelf. Amazon has it.

dupli color 1622 is what I use

Go to your local auto paint store and have them mix up a rattle can of 1969 V2 Hemi orange. I think they can do that.

So ChicagoConnection has a few cans. But the $24 shipping stopped me cold. Now I have 1 painted Mopar™ Street Hemi Orange and 1 VHT Ceramic Hemi Orange. When they're both dry I'll take a picture and let the experts fight over how incorrect they both are. Thanks for the help. And the pointer to the other thread. I did search a few times here prior to posting. Just no good results.

Duplicolr Hemi Orange & wrinkle finish spray cans worked just fine for me. Second picture shows how nice the wrinkle finished wrinkled with some heat lamps & a heat gun.

Nice looking engine. I have used both those paints before and they worked great. If it a driver, race car or hotrod who cares is it's a shade off. Here is a pic of mine it's off a few shades from HEMI orange. O wait it's bright red. It's a street/racecar so lets have some fun and not worry if that bolt is the wrong color or the engine color is a shade off.

dupli color 1622 also from o'reillys

i just looked, and i have a brand new can of MP street hemi orange. but it's so old [30 yrs or so ] it most likely wouldn't spray unless it was tossed into a fire and blowed up.

That's the same color as on my 71 340. Apparently there were some red ones for a short period of time.

Do you guys use a high heat primer or regular primer on the engine parts?
