Engine paint

Anybody know where I can get the correct color red for my 51 F1. The only thing I could find is from Bill Hirsch but it is listed as thunderbird red. Maybe it's the correct color but I thought I would check here before I bought it.
Thanks Jim K

If using multiple coats, read the directions very carefully. Follow the recoat time window like it's gospel. Many paints if recoated too soon or too late after the previous coat may leave you with a cracking or sticky mess. drying time is not same as recoat time.
