Frank Badelson sells Race Hemi & Street Hemi Orange, as well as Chrysler Red, Blue, and Turqoise. He sells it in pints or quarts, it's a VERY high quality match to original

do your self a favor and go buy some nice high solids urethane and be done with it.. that stuff looks great and holds up great.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's the same paint that Roger sells, they are business partners. I'm not sure what makes you come to that conclusion
I painted this engine in 1992, this picture was taken last year (this is a 67 street hemi so it's painted Race Hemi Orange). Paint was a spot on match to my original paint samples, went on and covered very well, and has held up beautifully for 18 years, what else could you want?
*The can on the right is 69-71 Stret Hemi Orange

Dupli-Color is a crap shoot, I've got cans that were so diluted is was like spraying water and took numerous coats to cover. I now use VHT Hemi orange, it covers great and dries fast, two coats and done.

Nope, you want street hemi orange. It's more red than chevy orange, but race hemi orange is just plain orange. Which I like. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif" alt="" />I also prefer the mopar performance RACE hemi orange.Just suks that a 1/3 of the spray cans are dead before ya pop the top <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/maad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smoke.gif" alt="" /> Easy fix for dead can, use the air line blower. Take the cans nozzle off, stick the plastic tube into the air chuck and push down, give a 30 second or more blast. Presto, pressure back in can. Do this on ANY spray can, PB Blaster, WD 40, carb cleaner
