Indy Pace Car pinstripe

Gurus,

I am painting my 78 GMC motorhome in a Pace car inspired paint scheme. Since the red pinstripes are tape there is no color code. Does anyone know of a paint code that closely matches the pinstripe color?

Thanks!

I'd call it flag red. Pick a red you like.

Lol, that's what I'm trying to do. I got a call from the painter this morning asking which red, unfortunately the shop is 500 miles away. I think Torch red is probably a close match. I just figured someone in the C3 community may have run into this issue before.

You could match it to the Testor's red enamel paint used to tidy up the cross flags and I suspect that would be pretty close. And who would get close enough to know the difference?
