70 f100 custom

Hi I have a 70 custom a very nice original truck and I would like to redo the tailgate letters but I am unsure of the color I can see white paint still on them but also some red and I can not figure out which is correct.
Any help is appreciated.

2x.. my "New Lime" 70 had brick red letters. I think because it has a parchment interior and white with a light color may have not had enough contrast... dunno, that's a wild azz guess.

My truck was the same color as yours with a darker green interior ,the tailgate letters were white. HIO Silver's were red and i'm with him as far as a wild guess goes. You'll need one of forum paint guru's for this one. Good luck

Thanks for the reply's. Mine is Yucatan gold. Do you think the red color I see is just primer?

I don't think it's primer personally.
