Default Re: Why so many Orange V6's?

I would like to clarify this, yes I did custom match the GMC Red against one of my 478's that had under 10,000 miles on it. Realistically there is not much difference between the GMC Red and the Duplicolor 1605 Red other than just a slight amount of orange tint in the GMC Red that's only visible to someone that matches paint colors for a living. Once the engine gets some miles on it the orange will be noticeable. The bigger difference is the spray can paint is it's too glossy while GM tended to make their engine colors semi gloss, when making a custom match in Acrylic Urethane I would add the right amount of flattening agent to the paint to achieve a semi gloss finish.
