Who makes a spray can chevy orange that is even close to the original? In my opinion, all the stuff on the store shelves is either too orange and/or too glossy. Does anybody have experience with the Eastwood or Cla$$ic Industries stuff?

I am in the process of painting my 350 while it is in the car and mostly assembled. I am using the One Shot Sign Painters Paing (Vermillion orange). Bought it through Eastwood. Only cost me about 15 bucks. Matches Chevy orange. You mix hardener in with it and you can brush it on and brush strokes level themselves out. It will take 300 degrees and it's enamel so it is very tough.

I have used Eastwood paint products and found them to be very good. Reasonably priced, and high quality paint and spray cans. I purchased the GM corporate blue, as I have a '77 Z28, not the orange, but the color was a perfect match and very durable.

Try Duplicolors brand. Its as close to a match as any that I've used.
