Correct engine color.

Whats the correct paint for my motor?

Dupli-Color Chevrolet Orange - DE1620
-OR-
Dupli-Color Chevrolet Orange-Red - DE1607

Leaning more towards the 1620...

Neither really hit the spot for "correctness". Too glossy & too dark compared to original. Try to find a Semigloss, if one even exists in a can form.

Here's the actual color that it should be. Whether or not the paint shows up this color is beyond me though.

I like PlastiKote Orange:

Think I used the 1620 on my Chevelle...

Don't really care if the motor and other orange parts are glossy...I do though make sure the black pieces are satin.
