1968 442 "red" paint source?

I recently purchased a 68 442 that is painted the "red" used for '68.

The wheels are also painted "red" to match the car.

I purchased a wheel to use as a spare and would like to paint the wheel to mathc the others (although, again, it will be the spare only).

Is there a rattle can option for this red color for spraying my spare wheel, prior to mounting a tire? Any help would be most appreciated.

One additional question: What is the correct color source to duplicate the argent silver, should I eventually decide to take all the wheels back to the original color.

Thanks,
Jim

Smile Paint update

It took a while to find a close match but I ended up with PPG Global system 2001? Subaru Rio Red OEM code 946...which was found by putting the colour camera on the original paint on the door jamb of my '68 442...this is a base clear paint...so in a rattle can look for Subaru Rio red...

FWIW, if you want "original" color you can usually order a number of "original" colors from Fusicks.
