L32K Phoenix Red - A Close Enough Match ? Options

[Literati914]

I have a '73 with hail damage and crap paint, Phoenix Red L32K which blurs the line between Orange and Red. I've had a Tangerine 914 in the past and this I'd say is a little redder than that.

Anyway, I'm planning on giving the car an over all respray at some point, but was hoping to do a couple of rust repairs now, as well as touch up the multitude of chipped spots - and maybe drive it as is for a bit. So, I'd rather not even pay for a custom can from a jobber if I can avoid it. At that point I'd go ahead and get a gallon for the future respray (maybe not a bad idea).

Long shot - but has anyone found a decent close enough spray paint that worked? I've researched but as you can imagine there's basically nothing on the subject. I see Dupli-color has a DE1607 color which is actually a Chevy Engine Orange-Red ..BUT it's a ceramic paint and I'm afraid it wouldn't dry with the cool weather.

Not sure what you're linking me to, I used google while researching.. am I miss something obvious? Like mentioned, I don't want to pay the prices of a custom mixed spray can from a jobber - just looking for the best OTC 'close enough' for now.

$30 - $40 for a spray can of L32K premixed and ready to go. Not sure how much cheaper you can get.

More like $40 + shipping.. and the paint on the car isn't really worth that tbh. I could spend that locally and get a can too (I might still). The picture doesn't show it, but there are significant issues .. besides the hail damage someone has gone over the paint with a clear, that is delaminating badly. FYI - Here are a couple cheaper options I've been considering:
