You can buy "off the shelf" maroon paint in spray cans from the 
auto parts supply places that matches just fine for a Ranger 
or Valiant.

> Be careful with any of these computer matched paint from Sears, Home Depot, SW etc.  When I wanted to match the paint for a Viking I which is different then the normal Johnson paint on the Viking II and onward the paint that they mixed was not even close after it dried.  I ended up going to a custom auto paint place that took the time to get a perfect match with a acrylic and the cabinet came out perfect and then I was able to lightly over spray the 122 VFO.  There is a difference in the early 122 VFO's that 
were first introduced with the Viking I and the latter 122 VFO's that were produced after the Viking II came along.
