Prewar dark red and maroon vice post war

Ford has a color called, Dark Canyon Red, that is an exact match to what Schwinn was calling, Special Dark Red.
Duplicolor has it in their catalog.
It's good paint.

yep its 1978 ford pickup color perfect,if you want it dark,under coat with black,lighter base it with white,then tell everyone u jumped through a bunch of hoops to have it custom mixed!!

I'm a little late to this discussion, but is this the same color paint used on my 1942 New World. It is a dark red/ burgundy color. AND has anybody ever used Duplicolor's paint in quarts/ pints to be gun applied? I've got touch up guns for auto painting and much prefer the control I get compared to an aerosol.I think the Amazon listed one said it was lacquer.
Rather have enamel, but ... going to actual auto paint would be pretty expensive.

how about anyone having a color match for the darker maroon color used on red pinstriped bikes and the whizzer's?
