What is the correct paint to use for the red surround of the lion and the black lettering please.

Cheers

I reckon australian standard "signal red" is close to original

It's a custom ute- why the standard colour?
I'd see how the colour you painted the ute looks in there.

Same can't be said if your car was say blue. I think that'd be odd.
