430 engine color/enamel on 69 riviera

I'd like to repaint the engine of of my 69 riviera and want to start with the valve covers. Is "VHT SP-121 Universal Bright Red" correct for this engine? I checked the Chevy Orange but it is to much yellow.
The thing is, VHT is easily available in Germany (where I live) and e.g. "Buick Red" by Cars Inc. takes time and money shipping.

Thanks.

Duplicolor DH 1608 (Spray).

It is sold here by NAPA and Autozone.

 

I used "universal red" made by plasticote.....got it in Pepboys......it's a close enough match for me, and seems to stay red after a few years and not turn orange.

 

Stay away from Chevy Orange. Not at all close. CARS stuff is pink! Stay away.

 

so, the DH 1608 is a good replacement for krylon 2114 buick red?

I can easily get the DH 1608 here, I might try it,and see if I like how it looks

 

I agree with the 1608. Ordered what was supposed to be the correct
"medium red" for my 68 225 from classicbuicks. It was just Ford
red-looked fine though. I waited two weeks to get it and would have
been better off going to Auto Zone.

 

Thanks for all the posts.
I think I have to go the hard way and order the DH 1608 even though spray cans cannot be shipped by air. Looking for a german dealer now...

and isn't 'DH' more suitable for brakes compared to the 'DE' stuff specifically for engines?
