Does anyone have the paint code for race hemi orange engine paint?
Race Hemi Orange Paint Code

I found this post over on the B bodies site:
"Max Wedge/Race Hemi Orange is the same as body EK2 without the metallic."
"Max Wedge/Race Hemi Orange is the same as body EK2 without the metallic."
Following. I'll be painting my new small block Race Hemi orange.
I'd be concerned about the angle of the engine on that stand.
That is interesting. It cannot make turning over easy.

I've been searching a bit online. It looks like dodge truck '58-mid 69's "Omaha Orange" is pretty close too.
I do like that, but was looking specifically for the code for race hemi orange, which seems a bit more orange and less red. I like that color though too. After looking it up, it looks like it's a late model color. Does it have metalic? It almost looks like V2/EV2.
The metallic in the GoManGo is very slight but the paint code I posted had NO metallic in it. Here is how it glows on my 440/495:
No need to turn it over? We're gonna paint it and put it in. That's the third small block I've had on that stand.

Off subject here, but I think Street Hemi Orange is closer to Vitamin C than Go Mango. Go Mango is very close to Race Hemi Orange. Next motor I do, I'm going to try Vitamin C with no flake to see how it looks.
I love the color. It gorgeous. But that's not Go Mango. It's too red. This is Go Mango. Clearly more orange. What did you prime it with? Primers can strongly influence the final color.

It is the late model Go Mango version (2016-2023). Code PVP/NVP
The later does have a bit more red in it......still though, his engine looks RED in comparison. The engine is a great color either way.

Don't Go Mango and Vitamin C both have the same paint code - K2?
Yes they do. That is, the high impact years. Not the newer ones.

I'd have to go look it up. I probably said Go Mango when I should have said Tor Red. Whatever I painted the motor in my 71 Challenger conv with never has suited me. It's too red looking. I have an orange 340 pie tin on the air cleaner and the motor color sticks out like a sore thumb as being more red.

I'd buy this, then get a colour match done to get the formula.

That's actually what I was thinking about using. Has anyone had any experience with Motor Coater?

Thanks. I'm hoping someone has a code so I can skip a step.
It's yellowish orange. The color of my Road Runner is very close to race Hemi orange. Here is the touch up paint code without metallic. AXALTA, was DuPont.
The engine/fender picture is what they call Hemi orange now, from auto store.
My small block is race Hemi orange. Was Mopar paint, it's crap, not sure that it's even available. Otherwise, who is that engine paint guy, Hersch?

Thank you. I'm a little confused though. Is the engine in the picture painted with that paint showed in the first photo (H01)?
