I think, from memory, it was the same red on Red motors. It was only on the VK Group A engines, no other Brock engines were anything other than standard factory colour.

When I repainted mine we polished up a secion of paint, heat affected and 20 odd years old, the old paint seemed a little darker and slightly less orange than the new engine paint I used,

I put it down to heat & age and thought nothing more of it

It is not the same as the Holden red which is more like an orange, these engines were more like bright red like fire engine red.
