X-53 Resto

[Slight_Rust_is_Accepted]

I'm in the process of restoring this X-53. I got it as a Christmas present last year, it came from a small antique shop in Amish country. It's currently torn completely apart and most of the paint has been stripped from it. This is my first restore and i dont have any plans of selling it, I will post more pics along the way.

What I need to know:
Right now all I need to know is what the paint code/name of the original red they used is, I've heard its some sort of flamboyant red.

Thanks,
-Sam

Here are some new pics, got the wheels laced and a lot of it has been sanded. Got a reproduction seat but it's no substitute for the real thing.

I'll be going up to the Akron show/swap meet so I decided to put it back together for a while. Anyone else going up to that show, it's this Saturday March 3rd.

Looks good! You are right though, repop seat is no sub for the real thing. They can be had so keep looking.
