Correct paint color( or close to it) for 63 Starfire grill bar??

Any ideas of the right color of paint and brand to restore the front grill bar on my 63? It looks to be close to a maroon or dark red shade? In the past on other projects years ago I used Testers model paint-worked!

It will work again, if you can find it.

Any reddish purple in a spray bomb will do it too.

Most of these trim parts were accented by a transparent red paint.
It should be available at most hobby stores such as Hobby Lobby in small spray bombs
Mask the part with Frog Tape and a single edged razor blade.
The more coats you put on, the darker the color.
