1957 Omaha Orange is what we used on our NSS '64 Savoy.

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

Prices are reasonable and I've found that one small can will do several engines

What I found was Rust Oleum safety orange was very close to race hemi orange and the cans worked good and 1/2 the price

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

well i got the mopar street hemi orange paint from mancini and sprayed the block and timing cover. turned out real nice, but the color looks to be between street hemi and race hemi, not what i was looking for, but it will have to do. the paint went down real nice, but was alittle thin. i bought two cans and only used 3/4 of one can. its something different than anything i'v sprayed before, has a weird smell. looks nice and glossy, no issues here other than the color not being quit right.

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.

Aren't there four oranges used throughout the years? Race Hemi, early Street Hemi, late Street Hemi, and another orange used on the wedge motors?

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
