Default C5 Coupe Die Cast

Is there anywhere I can get a decent quality die cast of a C5 coupe painted in the mag red paint that my car is painted.

Sorry Bob - you're only option is to find a decent C5 that you like, take it apart, and paint it mag red.
UT made a 1/18 mag red (actually closer to Carmine red) convertible, but not a coupe.
UT makes a decent coupe for the money and they're very easy to take apart. You should be able to find one on ebay for under $50...

Good luck - geo

Burago makes a 1:18 97 coupe in Carmine Red. That's as close as your going to get without painting one yourself.

fwiw, other than the Z06 being powder coated red, the brakes from the factory all C-5 calipers are the same.
