Hi, I believe from HK-HZ all Holden 6 & V8s were painted 'HK Rocket Red'.

I'm am going to paint these HQ original rocker covers that came off an unmolested HQ 253 Station wagon. Unfortunately my poor HQ has had girly Torana V8 ones installed and the oil filler is on the passenger side. What passenger checks and fills up the oil.. sheesh.

Here is an example of the paint colour for Rocket red sold by Supercheap.

Does anyone know of a brand which is a better match or the whole lot is going to be slightly redder than it should of been.
