Calypso Red Chip/Sample/Code?

[eddiepanhead]

Have this posted in PAINT, but not much response there. Thought I'd post here to see is anyone could help.

Would anyone have a chip or sample of Calypso Red to match that you could share or sell? A code for something similar?
Emailed John Pierce and he only sells quarts for $360.(a little high for the budget)
My 58 is about 75% correct and I would be happy with something close to the original color.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I seem to recall someone on this forum, or CAIMAG was getting ready to paint a '58 red, and white. Perhaps if you did a search, you could find the person, and send them a private message. The other option is to haunt ebay and look for a 1/4 pint can of Calypso Red touch up paint, or appeal to Harley memorabilia collectors that may have extra cans of that color. I would favor the 1/4 pint can option because that would probably be the best, and most economical way to get an accurate color match.

I was just thinking; you could send messages on ebay to people selling those 1/4 pint cans and ask if they might have Calypso Red in their collection.

I found a can on ebay. Rather pricey, but you would still be ahead of the game, and have a cool collectible can to put on the shelf
