I'd bet Frank Badalson has it, as well as Totally Auto, Bill Hirsch, and Plastikote. I know the MP is the correct shade, and Hirsch's Chrysler Red is spot-on, but I can't verify the others as I haven't used them.

It seemed to have a different label than MP stuff I had used in the past, but no probelms with being thin, runny, or faulty nozzles. Less than 2 cans to fully cover. Prob cound have done a thin coat withn 1. 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 383 A4 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 FC7 (sold)

I havent been able to compare it to a real/original turquoise unit but nobody has mentioned it being off. The paint takes some practice to get it to spray the way I want but I imagine everyone and every condition speaks to that preference. I get fantastic gloss out of the single stage paint everytime I shoot it. please pardon the alreay replaced ratty hood insulation.

I've used it and it matches original paint samples very closely.

If my engine bay looked like that, I'd throw away the key... the picture is from summer 09 and theres about 7-10K miles on it then... I keep up on it and make sure it stays tight and clean up whenever something does seep out. The T-stat housing is my problem area along with keeping a close eye on the right side valvecover.
