Treeman:
Texaco red is listed as 7008 in PPG Ditzler. This is a color code from a 1960 Color Chart. Check with your counterperson to see if the code is still good. If not, he/she will be able to tell you the new code. The acrylic enamel is good paint. You can get a catalized clear to put over it that can be sanded and rubbed out. I prefer PPG Urethanes - but that's just me.
Jarvis has a point - if you want it to match a specific sign/decal, don't obsess about the color. It will look better if it matches your sign/decal than it will if it is a perfect match to a paint code from 40 years ago. Unless you get some paint that is off by a mile, no one will ever know.
I always get all my signage prior to buying/shooting ANY final color and make sure that it matches. That way, when I'm in the final assembly stage - I know that everything is going to match. No suprises!
Keep restoring those pumps!
Jim
