Here's some info. I just found, guy looking for "Chevy Orange Engine"..........Can't speak for years though:

My father is an NCRS judge, and we have done extensive resorations on many corvettes.
I can tell you for a fact the absolute closest match to the factory color is in an aerosol.
The absolute best match to Chevrolet Orange is made by Plasti-kote.
You can go on plasti-kote.com and punch in your zip code..and it will bring up the closest location to whos selling it.
Heres a link to the product website:

I developed an assm. guide "kit" for restoring it from ground up. With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest.
