Re: [Chrysler300] '57 Brake vent and Wheel cover red/orange paint

Rob and all:
Didn't I remember recently someone said the Chevy engine red was an almost  
perfect match?  It is sort of an orange-red, I believe.

Keith,
The C wheel cover center ring is not the same  color as the brake vent 
screen.  The C wheelcover color is called Flag  Red C-7415 which is also the red 
color used in the side, grill, trunk, and  glove box medallions. The 
duplicate color is Buick Engine Red, Martin Seynour  brand #7956. The brake vent 
color is referred to as Chinese Red which is  actually an orange-red paint. 
In essence there is no color code for  this.  I was told when I repainted my 
vent screens and duct sleeve  connector to obtain the most brilliant orange 
color you can get. N.B. The  brake duct sleeve or connector is painted 
orange only on the inside and its  front face.  Hope this helps!  300'ly, ROB KERN

I have gotten a few  helpful suggestions so far and I wonder this -

I'm 99.5%  positive that my wheel covers have their original paint on 
them. Is  that color supposed to be identical to the vents? If so I can 
have  the wheel covers read with a spectrometer and have a rattle can 
made up custom as I just did for my beige dash paint. I don't know how  
much I paid for it, but sometimes it's better not to  know.
