And hate to bother them with this,so does anyone know if they bring spraycans of engine paints/I'm looking for the red/orange for 63,64 engine parts.

Bring? I assume you mean, carry? Studebaker International lists the following in their 2003 catalogue:

800254 Green. 800255 Blue. 800256 Turquoise. 800257 Silver. 800258 Yellow. 800259 Orange. 800689 Black.

They're priced at $12.50 each, but I'd call for pricing as this catalogue is five years old.

Or - apologies to Ed - you could go down to NAPA and get the DupliColor "Chevy Orange" for $6.99. Same exact color.

Are you asking if they bring them to Meets?

Now that Chevy red is that the color of the fan on a 64 V8 ?

They usually do, but with a phone call, they bring parts orders.

Bob I used the Duplicolor Chevrolet Orange/Chrysler Orange on an Avanti fan that I bought on Ebay and cleaned up a few months ago. There was discussion on here that it was a better match than the Chevy Orange. It is a perfect match to my Supercharger. (not that I know it is correct)

Since were on the topic of orange, is there a duplicolor # thats closer to FRAM filter orange? That any of you have used?

The only Engine Paint I can think of that actually is A&W Orange like a Fram would be older Case Tractor engine and body paint. I think you would be good to go with any household true Orange Spraypaint for that small item.

Sometimes you have to wonder if we are getting our money's worth for the "Special" formula "Engine Enamel", I'd bet it would hold up fine, if not no big deal to do a re-do!

[63t-cab]

Really it boils down to you get what you pay for!,as for a re-do it can become labor intensified.such as re-painting that "small part" and the first paint job decides to explode under the new!!! it all depends on what you want in the end result.

The "GLOSS PROTECTIVE ENAMEL" by Rust-Oleum that I used appears to be holding up well. The color was 214084 orange. It looks much like the original paint, but I cannot attest to its match with the factory orange. As I recall, I bought it at WalMart.
