Autolite stamp on alternator

Hi all. Does anyone know the orange color name or color number and the type of paint of the AUTOLITE stamp on the mid 60's autolite alternators.

I have the stamp but need to find the right paint. I've tried hobby store ink pads, but they don't work well.

If I can find the right paint, I'd be happy to share the stamp around to those who would like to use it to stamp their alternators.

Thanks

Greg

I have a stamp and use oil based printers ink (there is also soy based and rubber based, used at small run press shops). I squeegee it on a piece of glass very thin and then ink the stamp. The ink used by Ford's vendor is an industrial material that only comes in gallons and up.

Visit a local print shop and perhaps they can help you.
