Default Chevrolet Orange Rattle Can Paint

What is everyone using for Chevrolet Orange Engine paint? I've used Krylon for years with great success, but every time I order it, they send Dupli color instead. I searched on the web, and it shows Krylon is still in business. Bill

Ever since Sherwin-Williams bought Krylon the formulas have changed. GM makes a good color match.

I'll second Seymour. It's held up very well for the last seven years on my big block. I drive it quite a bit also.

For color comparison, here is the born with 396 out of my 69. Pulled in '82 because of a wiped cam lobe. Sitting in a corner on a stand right now.
FWIW. In person will always look different than a pic on a monitor. These give a pretty accurate shade though. The pad stamp pic makes it look a lot more red.
