What is the paint code (and color name) for the paint on the 2.8 engine? Or what is close enough to be a close match?

I have a plastic EGR cover that I want to spray paint the same color as my stock engine.

Help on this is appreciated..........

I've only looked into the powdercoat colors, it's Vermillion out of the Eastwood powdercoat catalog.

Bear in mind that the paint will need to be a fairly high temperature rating.

Duplicolor makes Chrysler Red that is almost an exact match. You can get it for about $5 a can at probably any store that sells Duplicolor engine paint (Advance, Autozone, etc.).

Since it's a Chevrolet engine, maybe the color is closer to the readily available Chevy Orange sold in all auto stores?? Ed

The orange matches the faded paint. The Chrysler Red is much closer to how it was from the factory.

Here is my intake and valve covers with the Chrysler Red and a coat or 2 of the Duplicolor Clear.

Here's my result with Vermillion.

When I 'touched up' the plenum on my 28K 85GT, I used the Chrysler Industrial Red from Duplicolor and it was an exact match.
