Default Poppy Red paint

For those of you that have the Poppy Red color, I have found a paint that matches for touchup very well. I came across this http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...gi?comm=DT3338 a few days ago. Notice at the top of the list that J.I. Case used this paint code in 1941. A search revealed that VanSickle paint markets this color under the name Flambeau Red. I bought a rattle can of it & painted the LH quarter panel cap with it & touched up some small nicks with a brush, it is a very close match. I had used Rustoleum Lobster Red for touchup previously, but the VanSickle is a better match and it goes on very easily and flows out very well. BTW, I had tried Rainbow brand Poppy Red several weeks ago, it is the worst rattle can paint I have ever used and I have emptied a lot of rattle cans.
