A basic matte finish red should be fine.

I was thinking a more pastel pink might be a better look overall. They really did make a mistake with the color originally anyway.

Dude....paint it matte red and call it a day. I highly doubt you will get called out for having the wrong shade of red.

But that would be unoriginal!!
I would appreciate that.
Because none of it answers the original question. I didn't need to post a question to just paint it any color.

Amazing! I didn't realise that at all.

Home Depot Behr “grenadine” red, in eggshell. I feel eggshell matches the texture of vinyl better.

How would anyone know? Red paint fades fast, nobody has seen the correct shade in 20 years.

It is in the Dutch Boy catalog as Big Tymer Red.

Looks great, was that sprayed or rolled on? Did you strip and prime the cabinet?

Yeah, this was a total strip down, bondo, prime and paint job. I actually cut off the bottom 3-4 inches of the base and replaced the wood because of water damage. I can share some pics if you’re interested.

Totally, just got a new CPO ordered and waiting for my memory card board to arrive, after that, I need to get my cab ready for a fresh coat of paint and vinyl decals.
Appreciate the info. Sherwin Williams is trying to match the Grenadine in an oil-based which (apparently) takes vinyl stickers better than a water-based. Going down first will be a pink primer so that I only need a few coats of the Grenadine.
I'll be using mohair rollers to get a better end finish. Will post results in a few weeks.

Here we go. Found my can.

BTW an oil based paint will produce a much more glossy finish. Yes eggshell is a bit harder to apply stickers to but it can be done if you take your time.

Thanks Nexus, I chose Satin which will have a little sheen but I'm not going full glass. If it doesn't work out, I may go full graphic overlay.

Agree, vinyl is hard to apply but does work if you’re patient
