Hi, Anyone here tell me what paint to use to paint an 1980 Elsinore Motor, like do PJ1 do an engine enamel thats close? or does anyone know where to buy the original tahetian red engine paint?

 It is said that Dulux Signal Red is a pretty good match for Tahitian Red. No doubt one of our tame Blingsters will update before the evening's out. Enjoy your build !

You can buy it overseas but they will not send it in the post  >:(
The other alternative is to take to a paint supply shop and have it matched, but then you need to have it flattened as the original was flat not gloss.
