I am looking for the correct red for my 66 valiant engine. It is kind of a red/orange color. The MOPAR red I bought was like a cherry red and it seems like it doesn't matter from what company either, they are all this cherry red.  Please help!!!!!!

The Mopar engine paint is of poor quality. The factory paint stuck pretty well but tends to fade over the years. See this post. |

If I hung out in an engine compartment for 40 years, I'd fade too.

hi, the closest color match is dupli-color DE-1632 chrysler industrial engine red. nice red-orange tint. thats what i used on my 68 cuda and was very happy with color results.i got it at napa. i even tried bill hirsch engine paints and could not come up with a correct match. his red is too red and the orange isn't even close. ron |

I second the Dupli Color Industrial red,it looks really good on both of my 170 engines and matches the factory color closer than anything else I have used. HyperValiant |

This is the poor-match, poor-quality MP paint most of us agree sn't worth messing with.
