Coolarde is right, just use hobby paints - I used a 'Bright Red' enamel and it seems pretty good straight out of the can. Another alternative is nail polish. You can pick up all sorts of colours at Crazy Clints or similar for a couple of bucks.

Maybe Ken will know the exact mix  Wink

It helps to have a friendly paint shop.  I had a 100 ml tin made up in enamel that was eye matched to a good original sample.  
It doesn't cost a fortune and is worth the effort.

I don't know the original formula but the colour is a darker red than bright red though.

Hi
I used the touch up paint available at most auto shops ended up with "marello red" Huh excuse the spelling but it is an early commodore colour. Seems to match the colours that come on rare spares badges
