Air cleaner 110 orange

[Bonzi Lon]

John.....It's Dupli-color Engine Enamel-Ceramic.....dyno heat tested to 500 degrees. They don't list a code number, but there were 2 orange caps and I just bought one of each to test. The match is perfect, the quality is outstanding and the unit turned out beautiful. I bought mine at NAPA. I'll try to get Brandon(Five and Dime) to post a picture as I am computer illiterate. Guy

There should be a number or color name somewhere on the can. If not, post the 12 digit number below the bar code, that will be the same on ALL cans of that color.

Right above the bar code it says "De 1620 Chevrolet Orange"

Other people have used Chevy Engine orange with good, affordable results.

I certainly concur with you Arnie......It's a near perfect match!

Now if we could only find replacement gaskets for the box > lid seal....

Mask off the lid seal before painting.....check with Bruce at Ztherapy for gaskets.

This stuff is great, I was cleaning my 70 air box up and found some discolorations. Thanks to you guys I bought the paint and just masked the gaskets. Looks like new and I have the decals on order.

FYI, I just painted the outside, no need to mess with the inside as no one will ever see it was my thought. Inside is in great shape. No need to buy more stuff than needed. This car is expensive enough to restore. Saving a couple of bucks by not replaceing perfectly good gaskets made sense to me. Ont that note, the PCV hose is crazy expensive. Cheers Richard.

Five and Dime, I'd appreciate a few words :bulb: on what you did to prep the air cleaner for the repainting. It looks great. Auzziez

Strip it with aircraft stipper, wet sand it smooth with 400 grit, then shoot it with acid etching primer followed by Dupli-Color chevrolet orange. The smoother the prep.....the better the results! Add the stickers and run it.

Drove to Maryville, Tenn. and visited Roger at the Z Barn today - great trip 3.5 hour drive - already started on the air cleaner - rubber in great shape!
