Trying to find the correct engine color for my 1960 Sunliner 292 engine.

It's been an orange color since I got it, looks like that was painted over a red.

Thanks!

This question has been asked before & frankly I don't recall ever seeing a definative spec answer. One of the popular spray can reds is advertised as Thunderbird Red, but is it, I don't know? Some of the engine reds seem to turn somewhat orange after being heated a few times, so? Good luck on that one..

Thanks, appreciate the info. Looking at pix on other websites red seems to be the prevailing color, but haven't found anyone with a listing for ford red engine paint.

your local auto parts store has "Ford Red" in spray cans.

The 62 292 I have looks to be red.

The PPG paint archives do list a color for Ford engine red... I bought some several yrs ago to do my 292.. I will look to see idf i can find the code.. Otherwise check your supplier and ask them to call PPG you also may be able to access it online.

The Classic Thunderbird club and the Crown Victoria club likes the HI-TECH engine coating EN-44 Ford/Chrysler Red. My local parts store carry it in a spray can or you can order a can from Branden Enterprises p.o. box 511 Trevose, Pa. 19053-0511
