Right color paint for block

I had posted previously about my '66 442, where the the auto transport company created an engine fire. Have finally dealt with all the insurance mess, and am about ready to begin the work.

Where can I point my shop to the right codes for the paint for the block? I assume that info is readily known to some Classic Olds lovers, but I couldn't find it handily myself.

Thanks,

Mike

Not so fast.....

What year? '64-67 (at least!) had a real deep "red bronze" that no one makes anymore! Here's a link to Jasen's site that talks about it. http://www.ultra-high-compression.com/page13.html
Also: go to http://ultra-hi-comp.proboards.com/i...lay&thread=522
for a color that's supposed to be a better match that Fusick.
