70 340 paint color
I want to paint my block before I start assembly and I need to get paint. It is a May 1970 casting which I believe would have been a reddish orange from the factory and I like that hue. The information I've found shows P4349218AB to be the Mopar color, but the cap on the current cans seems to be much more red than orange. I think that's what the 273's were? Anyways, I want it orangish-red. Looking for input from those who have painted recently what products would give that original color. What are the options? Is brushing it on an option to avoid having to mask surfaces?
The shop painted the block with a cast iron primer after the clean and hone so it should be ready to go. Most of the block other than the block are aftermarket and I'll leave them bare aluminum, at least for now.
This is the color I'm shooting for
