 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.
