Chevrolet Orange Rattle Can Paint

[Big Block Bill]

What is everyone using for Chevrolet Orange Engine paint? I've used Krylon for years with great success, but every time I order it, they send Dupli color instead. I searched on the web, and it shows Krylon is still in business. Bill

Ever since Sherwin-Williams bought Krylon the formulas have changed. GM makes a good color match.

I'll second Seymour. It's held up very well for the last seven years on my big block. I drive it quite a bit also.

For color comparison, here is the born with 396 out of my 69. Pulled in '82 because of a wiped cam lobe. Sitting in a corner on a stand right now.
FWIW. In person will always look different than a pic on a monitor. These give a pretty accurate shade though. The pad stamp pic makes it look a lot more red.

I've used VHT Chevy Orange in the past. It seemed to work pretty good and the color is definitely in the orange family!! Is it not a "preferred" paint anymore? Or at least an option?

I'm in the process of building a new motor for the Nova and will be painting it good old Chevy Orange!!

The VHT brand used to be one of my favorites. I haven't sprayed a motor in a long time but the last one I did is as follows.

I purchased a used motor that was painted a color the matched the car. Not sure what paint was used but it was almost impossible to get it all off without spending lots of time on it. So I tried the POR-15 chevy orange high temp paint you brush on. Just a little shinier than the rattle can but nice smoother finish that cleans off much easier. Very happy with it after many years.

I used Martin Senour paint in the past, it was available from NAPA stores. Very close match to the factory painted valve covers and engine. It is impossible to find nowadays though. Was the company bought out by another paint company or did they just go out of business? Don.
