orange air cleaner housing paint

Do y'all know if anyone makes a duplicate orange spray can paint that matches the 69 442 air cleaner ? Or anything that is close ?

Fusick sells the red air cleaner paint in a spray can. I have not tried it and cannot vouch for the match, however.

I used Supercar Unlimited's version and thought it was spot on.

I have used Fusik's Olds Red air cleaner paint on a 1968 air cleaner that was a bit cruddy on the outside, but pristine on the inside.

You cannot tell that the outside was repainted by comparing the colors.

I would recommend Supercar Unlimited. Fusick's is too orange for a 69 442.

I was going to recommend Fusick or Supercars Unlimited, but nice to see them both sprayed out on an air cleaner

My air cleaner was a bright orange,like a ripe pumpkin. Definitely more orange than red. But yours looks pretty close.

I will say that the Fusick color as illustrated above appears on my screen to be pretty much identical to the actual Fusick color, which was identical to the original color of my air cleaner.
