I am looking for a source of (327 cu inch vett) chevy orange engine paint by the can. I find eastwood sells only the spray can of enamel.
Suggestions?

Quanta -
has vg coverage and looks right after the engine gets cooked from running.
not as shinny as the stuff you get at the parts store and more orange than red/orange.

my two cents..

FYI - Sherwin Williams was the original supplier for small block engines at Flint. The code was JK 4892 and was a water base until calendar year 1971. After this period they switched to an oil based product, but the color was the same.

I have found that Bill Hursh Chevrolet Orange to be a very close match to the original color. Google it to find vendor.
