Rocket Emblem paint color
Anybody know the paint code for the claret red in the Olds rocket emblems (hood ornament, trunk emblem, door panels, etc specifically 1966) or where to get it? I have heard Testors enamel model paint might work (thick and sticky to hold on the metal), but can't really find a color that matches. Any suggestions on how to paint (small paint brush?). Thanks!

If you mean that iridescent type red color used in the '70s, I'd be interested in that too.
I do know that a nice temporary fix is red permanent magic marker. Looks surprising good. Clear coat it, and it lasts quite a long time.

If you go to your local paint shop or auto paint store, they should be able to match the paint. A good acrylic enamel should last. You can also clear coat it after it dries.
Go to an art store and purchase a good quality small brush with a fine point. The better quality brushes (either synthetic or hair types) hold a charge of paint much better than the cheaper brands, which equals less mistakes.
