Anybody ever color match this guy? Would be great to find an existing spray can that's damn close...

My Spyhunter that is undergoing restoration has a NOS steering hub from Videogameparts.com ... Next time I visit VintageArcadeSuperstore where the game is at, I'll take some pix showing the "true" color. It's less red than what is shown in the pic. There's a chance it may be done soon and delivered so I don't have to make the trip ;)

This is close but someone told me they couldn't find it a year or so back so it may not be available any more.

Found just what I needed tonight. I was walking by the spray cans and saw it out the corner of my eye. I knew it was a match just glancing at it. It's at Lowes and is called "classic red" IIRC. It's a red that has that light amount of pink in it. I did a test spray on one half the of the hub behind the van button (no sun fading) and it's pretty dead nuts. I'd say it's within the tolerance of one of those scanning / mixing machines for sure. Here's a shot of the can:

The photo doesn't really do the color justice. It's definitely a red with a pinkish tone just like the hub should be.
