Paint colour question

[blown motor]

I want to redo the recessed area of my fender louvers. I would like to match the colour to the colour of the words FOUR BARREL in the 340 FOUR BARREL emblem. Does anyone have a paint colour for that shade of red/orange? Can I buy that colour in a spray can?

Just a thought....Seeing how this is a nice personal custom touch...Why not pick a colour you like and paint both the louver inserts and repaint the emblems ? Could be red, could be any colour you like...

It is the colour I want. I've seen a picture of a black car with red inserts and red strobe stripes but it was a little strong for my liking. I think doing just the inserts is a nice accent and if I make it the same as the FOUR BARREL colour it will give continuity. I wouldn't change the FOUR BARREL colour as there are certain things that I like 'original'.

I repainted the '440 Magnum' hood emblems with 'Insignia Red'. Looks like a match to me.

Is that a Mopar colour Scott? Where did you get it?

[dodj]

Actually it is a Testors model paint. Picked it up at a local hobby store.

I found it in a google search after I posted my question to you. I thought it looked a little to bright but if you say it's a match I'll get some and see how it looks. Thanks for the help.

What I meant is...If you repaint the emblems too, you won't need a perfect match...they can still be red.

Even if you find the correct color, the two aren't going to match unless you repaint them both.  One will be faded and one will look new.

Ahh. Got you now Alan. Missed it the first time. Sorry.

So I got them painted and while the colour is a very close march to original it came out a little on the dull side. A friend said that spraying with some clear coat will add a little gloss to it. Agree or disagree?

Tremclad makes a clear coat GLOSS and SATIN....I would think the gloss one would do the trick
