This "red" color is NOT THE SAME as the "red" that MP sells, nor does commercially available (Krylon, Plasti-Cote) "Chrysler Red" paint match the original Slant-6 red color. I found an EXACT match though. NAPA farm equipment spray paint, International-Harvester red. Made by Martin-Senour(sp?) paints. | |
