I'm very close to painting my Hemi so I bought a pint of PPG Deltron DAR Acrylic enamel from Roger Gibson Restorations. No cans this time.

Here's some threads on the subject. The new MP cans aren't the same hue now apparently as they were before.

As Scott mentioned, Franks matches up the best so far he'd seen. I'll take his word on it.

MP engine paint is VERY thin! You will need a case of it! I would go with what the others recommend.

Pete why not put a pint of clear over the rattle can work .the up side is a gloss that will wash and less stain over the years .
