Does anyone know the PPG paint-code for chevy orange engine color? I'm not a great fan of spray cans.

Thanks a lot! This is just what I needed plus some. In the past I have painted several engines(the "other" brand) using regular PPG exterior paint but mixed to the correct color with exellent results. Even five years down the road the engine looks great with no flaking or discoloration.
