    C2 Duplicolor Engine paint info. needed...

    I am painting my '66 L72, my local parts house has Duplicolor engine paint but has two colors: 'Chevrolet Orange-Red #1607' & 'Chevrolet Orange #1620', the #1607 looks more correct to me, the #1620 looks more like a flourescent orange...anyone know which one is correct? Thanks, Jeff

    I have been using #1620 and didn't know the other one existed until I accidentally bought it and it didn't match the first can! The #1607 is significantly more red than #1620.

    By the way, some informal testing I have done (primarily for abrasion) appears to show that PlastiKote brand engine enamel may be slightly more durable than Duplicolor. Has anyone out there done any more scientific testing?

      I like Krylon the best. It seems to cover better and has fewer fisheyes.

        I don't believe that Krylon is the correct shade for a '66 BB
