[Healeys] 100 fan paint

[Bob Spidell]

You can get spray cans of custom color at reasonable prices.

There are a lot of variations for 'Chinese Red:'

This color, to my eye, would be suitable:

I jumped through the hoops and found:

$14 for an 11-oz can of enamel; not unreasonable. Given the interest on 
the List, you could buy a case and provide others with an, ahem, slight 
markup for S&H ;)
