You can find it in a proper engine paint (heat resistant that is).

I guess at a speed shop because theses guys at my local parts store can only get me hemi orange or black .

try a bigger NAPA store, if they dont have it they can get it. Thats where I got the paint for my pont

I believe your Chrylser dealer has it as well although it likely isn't too cheap from them and all too frequently their parts counter people can find stuff either.

Spray it with 1988 Porsche M7 acrylic enamel. Its right on for Turquoise and the most durable paint you can use on an engine. Use hardener if you want gloss or without out if you want it semigloss (more factory like)

VHT rattle can engine enamel from local parts/paint store.  It was better than the Mopar paint.

Thanks for your input guys .I have another questoin to ask.What colour would you guys paint this 383?turquise or hemi orange ?My firewall and under the floor is painted sublime green.I have no fender tags or anything like that.

I'd do the turquoise, the Hemi orange has been overdone.
