My Leaning Tower

Seems to be lots of discussions on these forums about what is the right Chrysler Red.
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.
That looks great! I am not a painter my any means & don't even own a spray gun! LOL. That's why I just used the Dupli-Color from Summit Racing. I'm not trying to recreate the factory look, just make it look good for the occasional local cruise or car show.
