I was given the following number for the engine paint for my engine;

Duplicolor DE 1605 Ford Red



My local Ford dealer says he has no way of cross- referencing that Duplicolor number to Ford paint. Can anyone help?



Thanks,

Doug

    If you will simply go to the Dupli-Color webpage at http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html , you will discover that the DE-1605 is still sold. Dupli-Color is one of many paint companies; your local Ford dealer would not necessarily have it, merely because it's a "Ford Red".



    A Falcon website reveals that the proper color for valve covers and air breather for 60-65 Ford Falcon is:

    Red-Orange, Dupli-Color DE-1605, or Martin Seynour 7892



    All this I discovered, by simply typing "Duplicolor DE 1605 Ford Red" into Google. By using a search engine you can get answers like this, and in a very short time!

    I bought mine at Advanced Discount Auto Parts Store here in Florida. Most Auto parts stores carry Dulplicolor paints in rattle cans.

    Good Luck, Dave W. (Fl)

    Go to Wal-Mart. In the auto dept. find the VHT Disc Brake Caliper paint. Red is a very good match. It is what I used on the engine in my Avitar. Actually it more red in person......

    I painted my 54 Dupli color Ford red. It is a stock item at Kragen,Pep Boys etc. When I started stripping my block and got down to the original color the Ford red was really close.
