Default Painting parts question

Replacing the water pump on my wifes 70Z. I want to try and match the color of the engine as close as I can. Paint guys what brand do you recommend in the can? I know it will need some finessing after being painted. Thanks for your help syc.

If you don't mind waiting for it to ship Bill Hirsch makes a really good chevy orange engine paint (or at least they did 20 years ago).

Thank you everyone for your help. Must have been a Monday or Friday when they painted that engine. Lol

----Bugsy, It's really not all that uncommon for there to be no paint in a lot of areas of the engine. Ask anyone with a true original.....Bill S

I linked to a factory video of the engines being painted - a few seconds per engine. Can't find that link right now....
