82 Block Color - Code?

[joed]

My 82's oil pan could use some new paint. Is there a special color code for the red used on the 82s? I looked at an auto parts store and only found "chevy red-orange", rather than plain red.

Thanks. Joe.

You'll find that the chevy-red/orange is TOO orange, I tried this one...

I used Ford Red on my '86 engine and it turned out sharp, but it ain't the Red used for the '82's.

Anyone else? I wanna know too! My '82 engine looks like hammered, well, you know!
