Default C8 engine cover color

I give up.

I’ve tried looking on the forum and did a Google search for the color red that people have been painting their own engine cover. Dose anyone know what color that matches the valve covers? And, what brand of spray paint are they using?

thanks

They're a close match to Edge Red. The exact paint color appears elusive, but a number of folks have found Barcelona Red to be very close. If you search Barecelona Red, you'll probably find one of several threads where this has been discussed.
