Need Maroon Engine Paint for '54 Kaiser
-
Say, does anyone know what off-the-store-shelf spray paint most closely matches the maroon paint used on 1954 and '55 Kaiser engines? I am repainting the supercharger on my dad's '54 Manhattan. I am trying to save a little money and can't really afford the custom stuff right now. If I can't find anything or if there isn't anything out there, I'll break down and buy a can of the custom stuff through a club member, but I'd like to see what's available commercially first. Thanks -- Tom"Problems are merely opportunities in workclothes." -Henry J. Kaiser

Have you tried talking to your local paint shop? They should be able to match the color and you could put it in a pre-val sprayer to spay the part. I have used a local Car-Quest that has a paint shop and they are not any higher in price for a small amount of paint then buying a can off the shelf.
Best of luck
Ron
