1961 Engine Block Paint

[Kevin S.]

My 1961 283 Engine Block was just cleaned and magna-fluxed - it is now ready for a fresh coat of Chevy orange paint.

Can anyone recommend a product that will adhere nicely, be tolerant of heat and also be the correct shade of orange for a 1961 block ?

Thanks in advance your help !

I have used on many top flight cars, Krylon DE1620 chevy orange engine paint.

William,

For what year or years does your statement apply?

Joe -

Shouldn't make any difference - the orange paint Engineering spec didn't change from 1957 until the mid-70's (when it went to blue), and procurement rotated among twelve different paint suppliers.
