i need the correct engine red for 68 455 ,bought some paint from fusicks and its not good at all besides all they have is spray cans ,would like a formula ,or paint code for a urethane or enamel i could spray through a gun ,i have nothing to match it to any more, need the correct color and gloss please

 

could try Parts Place they may carry it other formats than aerosol cans

 

What's wrong with Fusick's? It's just the right color.

I will admit it's overpriced and deceptively labeled (less in the can than you expect), but it's exactly right.

I think Bill Hirsch has the right color, too, in brush or spray.

my fusic color to me looks too flat and orange ,bill hirsh does not list olds red

 

Well, right you are! I hadn't realized that.

When I painted my motor in 1999, I used the Fusick supplied product. The color back then was perfect, but the paint itself was junk. The nozzle would clog every 30 seconds or so no matter how much I shook the can.

 

appreciate the help GAoldsman but im coming up empty with those codes when i called the rm color library ,if someone has an original engine color that they can match to even a home depo chip i could get the chip and make own color thanks for the help everyone

 

Any reputable Auto Body paint store should be able to mix up a batch of that red with the Inmont code or Dupont code. If not these guys

or these guys will be glad to help you. Just have the code handy and give one of them a call.

you would think but the rm color library comes up w/nothing when i give them those inmont and rm codes the tell me they can get a chevy orange or olds blue but no olds red color

 

A long time back I used NAPA's Buick Red engine paint that was VERY Close.
