Hi, Does anyone know where I can find this paint for the wheels of my 1940 Series 62 Coupe? 

Vincennes Red #94-3618

Thanks in advance, Ed Buliavac

If you do a search, this has been discussed several times, here are a few of the replies of compatible colors:

"1960 Ford Monte Carlo Red"

"Mercedes color called SIGNAL RED ( PPG # 71520 )"

"As discussed many times here TCP Global Paint mixes these old colors.  I don't know how they do it but they seem to be right on from the experience of many people.  They have Vincennes Red and it seems to be right on. "

In the past, I have used mid-60s Ford red engine paint.

Here is a sample of the paint from TCP Global.  It is right on.

Does TCP Global use a different name?  I searched on their Website and spoke with them on the phone.  They said they'd call back and that was a couple of days ago.  They have a lot of red paint, but no name or number matches so far as I can find.  Thanks, Ed
