    Someone once told me it was "Indian Red" but I can't remember what type or brand of paint.

    Yep Indian red - I think it was a Dulux colour.

    I recently re-painted a Dawn Vice. I used White Knight Epoxy Enamel in flame red, and mixed in a small amount of either black or their marine blue (sorry, I can't recall which). This was a very close match to the original Dawn red. I brushed it on.
