Lakewood color??

Has anyone discovered a good match for the Lakewood bellhousing red? I would prefer an easily found spray can if possible. I contacted Lakewood and they were no help. So I thought I would ask the experts - this group!

I use Dupli-Color SF FM 306. This is the brush on touch-up type. Not sure if Dupli-Color also has it in spray or not. I used it where I had to cut off/modify the flange. It's not a perfict match but close enough for what I was using it for.

I can't help you with an exact color match but I would recommend using an engine paint. Whoever is in charge of specifying paint at Lakewood should be fired or worse! The paint will smear and come off with Windex for crying out loud! Good engine paint will resist brake cleaning products. After a bad experience, I stripped my Lakewood and painted it with black engine paint. Looks good and will not come off.
