Any suggestions on a model paint close to Ford poppy red (such as the AJ Foyt cars)

I used Rustoleum Ultra-Touch Satin Poppy Red for my last Foyt build. It is satin, of course, so you have to clearcoat it. I think I got it at Home Depot or Lowe's. Sounds fishy, actually pretty spot-on.

If you have an airbrush you can get actual poppy red acrylic enamel automotive paint that is airbrush ready, no mixing. Scalefinishes.com has loads of colors.

If I remember right, poppy red is a 64 or 64 Ford color. If you do buy the Scalefinishes paint, be sure to pick the gloss enamel and not the basecoat version, which is flat and requires a top coating for gloss.
I used the gloss enamel on this Benny Parsons car.

Any autobody supply shop that mixes paint can whip one up a can of Poppy Red, supplier here found it now listed as Calypso Coral.
