Has anybody used the Hemi orange engine paint offered by Bill Hirsch? https://www.hirschauto.com/ENGINE-ENAMEL/productinfo/EE-QUART/Specifically the brush on/spray on stuff in the quart can. Their website has it listed as "Chrysler Hemi orange, 70-71 340ci and more" When I emailed them asking if this would be the correct color for a 1969 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi, this is the response I got: "I do not have a direct listing for Dodge cars. Sometimes they used a silver. A quick internet search does show an orange color on this engine though, so it is likely the same hemi orange color." Does anybody have any experience using this paint on a '69 Hemi ? My car is a clone, so not going for Mopar Nationals gold.

I recently used it on my Hemi. Personally, I like it. I brushed it on (two coats) and it looks good in my opinion.
I have only got a couple of months on the engine right now but it seems to be holding up well.
Stan Looks good to me ! I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks everyone !

Hey, let's see some photos of that Bee ! Here’s a couple more photos. The car is super fun. I took it on an 1800 mile road trip last Summer. Stan

Then use whatever suits you, unlikely anybody is gonna cite you for "incorrect" color since there's no standard to judge by. I use body color EV2 without the metallic.

The last time I bought the Mopar paint it was so far off color your grandmother would puke.

Stan, I'm going to have to steal that shot of the Hemi/B Body/The cat. Epic stuff. He showed up as a stray kitten several years ago and decided that he wasn't leaving. Anytime that I go out into the garage, he is not far behind..... Stan

Stan Looks turn out great, Stan! I'm gonna show it to my uncle when start working on the engine part. We got to finish installing the suspension and tires from 4Wheelonline this weekend.
