Gentlemen, I am need of a can or 2 of some Buick red engine paint. If you are able to help, much appreciated, thanks.
Inline Tube carries Buick red in spray cans. Some have speculated that its Krylon 2114 Buick red in disguise

The best out there and doesn't burn off,fade,or scratch. I use it on buizila and well worth the money https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-ceramic-engine-paint-buick-red-quart.html
http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/buick-red-engine-paint-comparison-test.338829/ This is probably one of many threads on the buick engine red paint options available. I myself think I will probably go with Dupli-Color DE1653 when the time comes.
I stock the Spray Cans and usually a Quart on hand from "CARS". They claim this is an exact match to the original "Buick Red" We have A LOT of parts coming in from CARS in the next few days!!
I have 18 cans of duplicolor 1608. It's been discontinued for several years and is high temp. 1200°. I can sell up to 6 cans. $25 per can plus shipping.
Thanks to all of the replies. I see TA Performance has rattle cans of Buick red and will probably go with that seeing that I have to place an order anyway. I appreciate it.
I also recommend the Rustoleum ZINC cold galvanizing as a primer. Dries in minutes. Kinda keeps chips and scratches from getting too ugly also... JMHO.. ws
Are you guys applying the paint to the clean metal of the engine OR is the engine getting prepped/primed first? I’m wondering if these paints are made to go directly into bare metal or do they need some type of base coat. If something is needed what have y’all used/ recommend?? Thanks! Mark
