What colour red are holden 6's painted? Code preffered. (Name would work otherwise; Probably have to paint with a can as the rebuild isn't happening at my place where I could spray it)
If there are differences in colour between engine models, the engine is a 2600H 161 from LC 4 door.
And for added complexion..
Anyone have good resource on getting the 'holden 2600' logo on top? Just the standard 161 (H or L), not S. Be it high quality photos, colour codes, stencils, whatever. I'm going to lose mine when the engine is acid dipped.
I still want the engine to look like the original thing.
I have a suspision im going to have to find an example to get colour matched and repaint it manually with stencils.
Thanks, as usual!

Those decals btw are just GTR.
I should've taken a photo of the head before i took it away! lol. Someone else here is bound to have a standard 2600 I hope!!
Hmm, i do know someone who has the same engine but its so thick in grease and oil, i doubt i'll be able to see it

I also tape up any flat metal (shiny) attachment areas and cut the edge with a ball pean hammer (bit like making gaskets the old fashioned way). Works for me.
Also, instructions on the can are correct, apply many light coats and leave adequate drying time between coats, not heavy coats. Just try get the coats as even as you can.
