I'd use a lighter red, but looks fine to me.

Ty,
Great minds must think alike. I'm also going to paint my version of the Knight like the Rivets. I'm going to have the hoerner tips and the color scheme as it was on it's last flight.
Tucson is going to be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to it as well as the Sheeks contest. A nice tribute to great guy and a long time family friend.

Hey, Ty. You could mix your own. My method is, see a car color I like, look the color number up on autocolorlibrary.com and go the the auto paint store and have the guy mix up the color without clear binder. The pour in Randolph's clear as the binder and spray away. Had pretty good luck. The only trick is, you have to make sure the color you're having mixed doesn't have a pearl or metallic that's added in liquid form and it usually has a urethane based clear in it. I just have my guy substitute dry pearl or metallics. Works out well.

And then you could use Ford Performance Red. About the screamingest red out there.

Don,
The colors on the Rivets are Bright red and bright yellow. Ty's photo is a great one of the plane but the colors are not correct. We've all seen color photos that came nack with different shades than what we really saw.

Maroon cars are not only a hazard on the road, but also in the assembly plant.

In 1985, we replaced mechnical limit switches with "new", "better", "foolproof" photoelectric LS's.   It turned out that the maroon paint we using on the Grand Am was the perfect infrared stealth color.  Our photocells couldn't even see 'em.  In critical cases it was ncessary to add a mechanical 'blinder" to force the LS to see the maroon.

Perhaps the color's ability to absorb rather than reflect infrared light is the root cause of some human's inability to see it.

YES!....AS I REMEMBER IT!!!! THAT WAS WHAT THE LAB EXPERIMENT was about...how not only human beings see and detect colors when they are put into motion. Our instructor was working at the time with Birds of Prey...and how they perceive prey in flight....and can home in with such accuracy....especially in dim-low light conditions.

Hi Ty,

Duplicolor now has their LACQUER in a new series of quarts called PAINT SHOP.  There are 6 or 7 colors right now, but one is Performance Red and another is Chrome Yellow.  Those are perfect for the Rivets/Knight!

The Duplicolor is compatible with Sig and Randolph.  We used this on Aaron's recently finished Thunderbird I.  I get it at Auto Zone along with the Duplicolor Filler/Primer (in gallons!).

Thanks Bill. I shall try some. Gallons??? .  LL~ Too bad it doesn't come in pints or quarts.

The colors come in quarts like I said! LOL!! 

The filler/primer (gallon) also comes in quarts or large spray cans.  But at the rate you build, a gallon of primer isn't out of the realm of reality! LL~

Yes, quarts and gallons.  Duplicolor sells its own thinner in gallons, but I use 3608S.

Cheaper by the gallon, though, and it doesn't "go bad" for many years.  So I get it by the gallon when I buy bulk.
