FrankOC Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I need to paint a new water pump. Any preferences out there for a brand of orange that is close to original? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I like POR 15 engine paint. Brush it on and it flows out like it was a spray job. The color is really a good match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I remember my 71 engine was a much Redder orange than older Chevy engines. About that time they started to remove the lead form paint and the new color may be a result of that. I worked at E.I. DuPont Automotive finishes in Michigan (in the 80's) and was able to mix my paint and I used the older formula and it was, is way more orange but I like it.

Jared Richey Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Duplicolor CHEVROLET ORANGE not Chev Orange or Red Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bell Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I got this stuff. Made in Germany, only Eastwood has it. Two part epoxy paint, ya press a button in the bottom to release the curing agent. Supposedly bullet proof. I'm tired of always having to touch up spots on the engine regular paint won't stay on. A little costly though, the two cans were $65 delivered. Once mixed, they can be sprayed for like 30 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little darker than the stuff that was on there from years ago (unknown what it was, spray cans long gone). Goes on nice though, covers good, nice gloss. I searched around and that seemed to be the most popular with the Chevelle and Camaro crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
