My Leaning Tower
Tried all the other aerosol can colors and they are way off from what the Mopar Red should be.
Here is my best Factory Red Match that is a perfect match to 1969 Red 318 engine made by PPG:
It is a Single Stage Acrylic Enamel that uses the DXR-80 Hardener to make it more chemical resistant than the aerosol paints, plus a really nice final finish.
Here is the Code:
PPG Delstar Acryilc Enamel
DAR 2296 H Bright Red
Delstar in the quart can DAR 2296 H Bright Red was the best match (IMO) . . .
Things can appear more orange than they really are with photography and over the internet.
Here is the finished painted engine with the Bright Red Acrylic Enamel, showing the red a little better.
Seems to be lots of discussions on these forums about what is the right Chrysler Red.
