"flash red" powdercoat?

I'm looking for anyone who has found (and used) what they would consider a very close match for the OEM "flash red" paint used on the '83-'87 CR's.

I have found a source for paint, but would prefer powdercoating.

Thanks

someone had posted before that www.colorite.com had the matching color #ma2135r119
1800-461-2324
supposedly matches 1983-87 CR Flash Red

I painted (yes, I know not Powder coated) my 87 CR125 with Chevy Orange engine enamel. It was a real close match! Shocked myself in the closeness...

Some pics for reference:

well I think I may have found it now:

"RAL 2002 Vermilion"

also known as PPG part number PCT37230Q.

Google it... it sells for about 12 bucks a pound.

I'll post up again after Christmas when I get the job done...

Right now I think my frame has the Chevy orange rattle-can paint job. Pretty close, but it's getting a bit rough. Old '84 gets some TLC this winter.
