    Engine Color Canadian 283 57 Chevy

    I am in the process of doing a nut and bolt, body off frame restoration on my '57 Bel Air built in Oshawa Ont. I am trying to get a paint code for the engine paint so I can be as accurate with this resto as possible. The engine color is a deep red.

    I am new to this forum so please don't scream at me if I have done something wrong. I do have a picture of the valve cover but I done know how to post it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a Canadian engine (except in photos).... Is the '57 Canadian color perhaps the same as the '56 V8 engine color which is a red?? I'd try 'Chevrolet RED' which is available in Seymour?? I think....?

    I hadn't thought about that since I haven't paid much attention to totally stock 56 engines .... certainly worth a look

    Thanks for your prompt response.
