keeping it original

I have a 1976 corvette that I am trying to keep all original. I am trying to paint the engine back to its original color but can't find what shade of orange it is.

Welcome to CF! :)
I've always just called it "Chevy Orange". As to what shade, I haven't got a clue. [&o]

Most auto parts stores will have the correct color in stock. Just ask them if you don't see it out on the shelf. Cheers

I discovered that Krylon's Chevy Orange was a little redder than stock. I got Tempo at a auto paint store and it was a perfect match to the original.

Check with Eastwood at www.eastwood.com They have all of the correct paints for resto's. Their part number for Chevy Orange is 10016Z.
