----If we are talking rattle cans, it should be brought up that the quality of the product should also be considered. A can full of correct color chevy orange is only good if the paint can get out the tip and there's a good spray pattern. I can't count how many times I have bought rattle can paint and it ended up being useless, and I know how to clean a tip. Some paint companies just won't spend the extra pennies for good tips. Just my 2 cents.....Bill S

OK, I'll jump in, I recently painted the engine on my Z/28 project and used Seymour EN-48. My shop partner was convinced there was negligible difference between Dupli Color 1607 and Seymour so I did a spray out as shown in the photo below. They differ in both gloss and color. I find coverage is poor with Seymour and it can require multiple coats vs Dupli Color which provides excellent coverage. Over on CRG opinions differ but Seymour is preferred.

What do the judges have to say about color and finish? Or do they not care as long as it is red/orange? Or does it even matter? You would think there would be points won or lost there but have never heard either way.

Unless something is totally screwed up or amiss I don’t know how a judge could effectively determine correctness. Just look at debates within our great forums on what to use, etc. NCRS only states what is painted Chevrolet Orange so if it’s in the ballpark and looks the part one is ok, but preference is placed on items that should be painted or not.

I like the gloss better of the duplicolor.
The original paint was not full gloss, just a bit of flattener....
