Chevy orange engine paint


Recommended Posts

I can get also Vallejo /mr color if that help... 

Model master i can get in ebay but they didn't have there engine orange only engine red

If you're painting a big block Chevy (396/427/454), or certain late '60s small blocks, the Model Master Chevy Engine Red--a brilliant red-orange--is exactly what you want. All the muscle-era Chevy big blocks were this color.

Earlier in the decade, small blocks were painted a very orange orange, like Testor little bottle orange. I've been trying to find out at what point (and on what particular engines) they went to the more red (red-orange) color.

Good information. So did the 350 in my '69 SS350, with a Tonawanda #1 Team decal on the valve cover.

I also seem to recollect my parents' 65 Impala SS 327 300HP was red orange (but it had a Powerglide :( )  Their other Chevy was a 62 Chevy II with the 4 banger.  I don't remember the engine color on that.
