Last I used was the Mopar paint. Some on flea bay. There is a lot of "Street" out there. Some don't like the mopar paint but I like it.

I used that on the 440 in my Charger back in ‘87. Not “correct” but I didn’t care. I always thought they got the name wrong though. It appeared on Max Wedge engines first.

The local paint supply house mixed some up for me before. However, I no longer have the paint formula from the can unfortunately.

I think it's called royal blue? That would sure be sweetAl - just paint it Ford blue - ala Jake King.

1 can should do it. Did you ever take paint from "dead"can and put it in a new can? I have 1 1/2 dead cans.

Yes. You can do it. The propellant spray bottles are available at well stocked Ace hardware stores. Home Depot may even have them.
Special K who is closer to you than I, has the tool to extract the paint from the cans.

Found that VHT makes a Race Hemi Orange in a spray bomb. Friend of mine saved me the trip to S&K Speed to pick them up.
Now to get everything up to temp and spray!

I'm sure you know, but...
The race hemi is very yellow compared to "hemi orange".
I was very unimpressed with mopar paint cans of race hemi. It doesn't cover, durability is ship.
I tried lots of places looking for the race hemi.
Finally gave Bob Mazzolinis stuff a try. His cans say " Omaha orange", but Bob said it was right. He was correct. Very happy with results so far.
Last I heard tho, Bob was closing his shop, health concerns.
(The krylon is real close, not quite right).

S&K Speed is hands down, drop the mic, best speed shop on the whole east coast, maybe even the whole country. So glad that they are close enough to us to go get the parts on the same day. I've called on some items that I thought would not be in stock, and they've had it.
I can't see how such a small outlet compared to the big ones, has the room for such much stuff, be it Chrysler, Ford or Chevrolet. Not to mention it being the original home of the infamous quarter mile, quarter million Hemi Dart.
"If you need it, they have it, If they don't have it, you don't need it"
Glad you found the cans.

Open it carefully, mix a little enamel reducer to get it thin, put in a glass jar with good sealing top. If fact I need two cans myself. Or get that tool that mechanics are now using on Freon cans, it squeases around the can, punches a hole then comes out the hose. Use a valve on hose end to release pressure in any left in it.

The bottom of intake color is what I want.
I dont think so. But if you punch that number into your search engine there are different options. P4120751AB

Actually the top and bottom are the same. Lighting and camera resolution makes orange really difficult to reproduce. The intake pics are from a tablet in one shot, and a phone in the other. The sample shootings on the cardboard show difference the tablet can't reproduce.
Omaha orange from Bob Mazzolini is dead-ringer for the Mopar performance race hemi orange. It just covers better imo, and I understood the Mopar perf race hemi paint is disco'ed.
