The color is Victory Red, NG GM 519. I believe I found it at the Pep Boys store on Rt 1 just south of the Occaquan bridge. The color match was pretty close but there were a couple choices. You might want to take a trim section with you to compare. There may be another red that's a perfect match.</div><div><br></div><div> See you at the holiday party.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Mark<br><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Dec 4, 2013, at 12:26 PM, <a href="mailto:daniel@danielgoldberg.net">daniel@danielgoldberg.net</a> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><p>Mark,</p><p>That's an outstanding idea.

> Your local FLAPS sells paint pens that work pretty well but they cost more than the Testors. Six months ago I repainted the red on my '65 Corsa trim using Testors. The Testors is way to red staraight out of the bottle so I tried to mix red and black to get the right
color. After numerous color mixing attemps, it was never quite right, but I repainted the red bits anyway.<br>> <br>
> During a recent visit to a FLAPS I noticed the paint pens. I'll check tonight but I think I got Victory Red and it was pretty close. They make many different reds, more than Testors offers, no mixing. Anyway, I re-touched up the red sections using the pen with the
trim still on the car and it came out great. It was much easier to use than the Testors paint, hardly any cleanup. I'd go with the paint pen. It looks like a big magic marker, I think the cost was $10 or so.<br>> <br>
