I searched and searched, although mine was just plain RED, getting the right shade wasn't easy. I finally found something that came naked-eye close at the hobby shop. TESTORS modeling enamel. Take a chip (in my case there was plenty...) and try to match it. I think lacquer may be preferable since it dries faster and harder, but we're talking a few spots here and there, aren't we? The enamel takes a week to truly harden, especially if glopped on to fill in missing paint.
