Does anyone know what color red the space saver canister is? Is there a specific color code or is there a rattle can that matches up. I might be restoring one and I wanted to check before I have to do it twice.

I was able to match the color in a rattle can. Will try to look it up and post tomorrow. I have the original '69 and a nos 70's canister and it matched both very well.

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing back.

Here is a pic of my original '69 and my NOS '71 canisters. The color is Krylon 2328 Red Pepper / Safety Red. Side by side you can see a very slight shade difference but I am pleased with the results. I hate to mix paint for such a small project when it is easily chanced if not pleased with the results. I can't post pics now but maybe it'll let me post later.

Still can't post pictures. I usually don't have trouble posting but today has been a no-go. Maybe tomorrow ;)

I never did post an updated pic of my finished canister. I must say I am very pleased how it turned out. Now if I could only remember where I put the top cap so I would not lose it.

Looks good Rob, what did you end up using?

Krylon per your suggestion. Thanks again.

Also used the recommended Krylon and equally happy with the results. Obtained the paint at O'Rielly's. Installed in my 72.

I'll try again to post pics.
