Two favorites: Shot with a gun: PPG 3116 Chrysler Mandarin Orange Rattle cans: VHT SP120 These two are really close in color. The gun paint gives the beautiful, thick "dipped in plastic" appearance Which sometimes I like and sometimes to be honest I can't stand it. The rattle can looks more like a thin assembly line job which I like.
The Mopar performance resto orange is also good but I think they discontinued it.
Rattle can, based on reputation probably worth a look: Seymour 620-1450 Omaha Orange Never tried it personally
Plenty of others!

Is this the lighter color race hemi orange? Yes, that's the only color I paint my engines. I used to use the MP stuff, but it got to the point where you had to buy a case of 12 to maybe get 6 usable cans. If Badalson doesn't have it listed on his site, call, he has it. It's mixed off of a really nice survivor. The color is dead on.

I crack it open, and start brushing.

POR15 HEMI ORANGE . Small can will do about 3-4 engines, need your spray gun. I use por15 also and it's a good match. The turquoise looks good too. Otherwise I mix my own in urethane. Either way, using a good spray gun works much better than a can and using a paint with an activator.

[/quote] The race hemi orange compared to the street hemi orange is a lot different, there is no light and dark Race or Street hemi orange, they are two distinct different colors There are a lot of choices on which brand of paint to use on both colors though

Max Wedge/Race Hemi orange was also used on the Street Hemi up to mid/late 1968 model year. After that a darker Street Hemi orange was used on Hemis and in the 1970/71 model years most of the high performance engine line.

Cab, No question on the Street Hemis. Race Hemi orange up to late 68 then the darker Street Hemi orange till the end. On the 68 Race Hemis I am not certain on those you could be right on that.

Last engine I painted was 69 383 hp engine... it was a perfect match to the paint mopar sells in cans. Except it won't fade in a few months ![laugh2 laugh2](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/laugh2.gif)
