Engine paint pints? ’68 318

Hey All,

I see a number of threads with various paints folks have used to match the Chrysler red on the 318’s but it all seems to be aerosols. Does anyone know of a can/pint of red engine paint that matches well enough? The plan is to do a full resto once I retire but for now the “craigslist rebuild” will do via brush if I don’t have to disassemble and tape everything off.

Thanks!

69 Newport Stripes; Any pics??

I’m a ways away from anything paint related, but for my project car I’m decoding the tags and seeing that what it shipped with and what she is today are a tad different; looks like we got a paint job, and lost an accent stripe in the process!
I’m not seeing any great pics online, so I didn’t know if anyone had a 69 Newport (or maybe a New Yorker, or 300? If they did the same?) with an intact stripe I could scope out and see if its something I want to bring back :)

Any fellow members in the local South Jersey Tri-State area that would recommend a shop to install a new convertible top on my 1968 300? South Jersey, Delaware, Philly Area would be ideal but for the right shop I would be willing to travel further.

Plastic Dip Spray

Just wondering if anyone here has used plastic dip spray on any painted surfaces of their car? In my case, I want to blacken the inner areas (5 on each wheel) of my silver powder coated rally wheels. I’m dreading sanding all those little areas. I’ve he…
