My 1958 red tip SS is in really good shape. No brassing at all. I'd like to touch the paint up myself but I'm not sure what to buy. Anyone here done it?
Paint type and color for red tip?

Keep in mind that Gillette used at least two visibly different shades at different times: a bright red and a darker red. Some have reported that brighter red matches Krylon International Harvester Red and the darker red matches Krylon Burgundy. Or just take your Red Tip to the store with you: Super Speeds love family outings.
