Chevy Engine Orange.......Paint Code??

[♠Stovebolt♠]

<font color="purple"> Hey there. So this may be an odd question, but a customer of mine came into my work here, and he is looking for the paint code for Chevy Orange. Yup, a little weird, I know, but it's what he wants! I have phoned PPG and they don't have a # for it. Any help would be much appreciated! </font> http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was reading somewhere here on the net that Chevy has changed the color three? times and then there's the rattle cans with whatever shade of Orange they want. I just did an engine with VHT Chevy engine Orange and it was redder than the original on the '70 block but yellower than the Orange on the '69 Camaro intake I used.
So, maybe you should just go thru some sample chips and pick one that matches an original unrepainted block and give it to him... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

<font color="purple"> Thanks for the tip, Dr! I will pass the info to our paint girl and she can deal with it. But you are right, I'm lookin at VHT and Plasticote, and they are both a little different. Thanks again! </font> http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
