Attachment 2105 Here are a couple of pics of my custom matched GMC Red, as you can see really about the same as the 1605 red but less shine.

I use the GMC red. It seems bright and shiny at first, but doesn't take long for engine heat and use for it to fade to the orange color. I don't clear coat it.

So is this the Duplicolor 1605 Ford Red you used here? I am having my 305 taken apart and re-gasketed so I guess I need to be deciding on paint too.....

I'm curious where do you get the actual GMC Red? I know "OEM Paints" makes it but you have to buy a minimum of a case of six for nearly $300.

I use Dupli-color in rattle cans. I don't remember the #. I'll look in the shop and see if I have part of a can left.
