I found that the Krylon Chyrsler red was very close. And yes the bellhousing is engine color. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | The bellhousing is the same as the engine. Not sure if the trans is suppose to be black or grey.
I believe the gmc engine color is very close to the Duplicolor Chevy Orange Red # 1607. Others will say it is closer to sinrise red, crimson red, cardinal red, and even craftsman toolbox red. The factory mixed the colors by hand, so the color varried from day to day and factory location. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 3 | Thanks already painted eng. with the 1607 just didnt know about trans.I guess a bun? | | |
