Which red for the color of a 1955 ist series gmc 248 from a 1/2 ton. Carter's says gmc redorange which doesn't sound right. I have seen gm crimson red as a notation.
Should I prime the parts? Insides of the sheet metal stay metal or do they get paint?
Bell housing the same as the block?
Should the mating surfaces be painted and then assembled?
Contrasting bolt colors or build it up and shoot the whole thing gasket sides and all?

I expect the starter/generator/fan brackets to be black. Which black?
Thanks for the advice.
