Based upon responses on the list to my same question about 10 years ago, I
used Dupli-Color engine Paint. Comes in a spray can and the UPC label reads
DE 1605 Ford Red Bar Code 0 26916 91605 1.
Bear in mind I have had this can for 10 or so years but at the time I was
told it is the closest match and is guaranteed to withstand heat up to 500
degrees.
I forgot where I got it but based on the time frame it probably was Pep Boys
in Vegas. I think that the magic phrase is "Ford engine red"
