For what it's worth, on page 115 of the new Jim Carter catalog there is
a listing for 1939-48 GMC 6 cylinder engine paint (olive, part # PT117),
and another for 1949-1959 GMC 6 cylinder, and 55-59 Chevy V8
(red-orange, part # PT118). Each are priced by the quart at $25.95.
I have never seen or tried any of these...................just passin on
the info.
Good luck
