Jon,
This couldn't have been better timing for me. I was just getting to painting the red cowl and canopy for my recovered Strega. I bought LusterKote Missle Red, but that crap was more like a burnt orange than red. I went to Home Depot today and they had the Rustoleum on the shelf. I just shot the canopy with it and it looks great.
Thanks for posting this.

Didja try this one? It's the Rustoleum professional high performance enamel in the silver rattle cans. Got it from True Value. It says Safety Red so I think you tried a different Safety Red than this one. I can vouch for how well it matches the red oracover on my BH T-28. The edge between the cowl and Oracover on the nose is hardly discernible...of course this is a pic, but in person, this is perfect to me, and I am anal, lol. Jon
