Underbody Red Oxide Primer

[23plumpt]

Does anyone have a correct underbody red oxide primer paint number and manufacturer.It is for a 61 chevy impala. I have seen so many different shades of this color on cars over the years, and now that I am finally doing my car I would like to get it correct if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

61 or 62 underbody paint

I have been using PPG DP 74 I think it is for the underbody primer.
The newer version of this has no lead but I think it has the same shade. We just used the DP 90 for black interior fenders and radiator support. I like it because it cleans nice without streaking, using just glass cleaner.

I attached a picture of my interior with this primer and one of the completed underbody of my 62 SS 409 restoration.
