They compared it too original, and it was Right. ??

Maybe someone remembers this??

That is the one I added a drop of flat red to in order to better match the needle base color. I did go back & airbrush over the hand-painted & it does look beter that way. 40:1 ratio, orange to red. The truck stays in the garage , or at least it has for the last 20 years of its life, so it should not fade for a while.

That marking spray paint does look good though, an excellent match.
