SL/6 225 ci Engine Color - Red or Light Blue?

OK ...another unknown. My SL-6/225 ci for 1968 Dodge Dart 270 is RED from the factory. Where do you get correct RED paint and matching OEM p/n for color?

However ....friends say it should be LIGHT BLUE...dah????.

Confused...pls help. TRACTOR SUPPLY has best color match. Engine will be pulled, stripped, totally cleaned and de-greased, primed (?), and sprayed in shop. Is there special engine color paint suitable for heat/grease/oil contamination???

What color and p/n should I research/obtain/use?

Thx ...appreciate any help/comments/recommendations.
