whats best to touch up the r/t emblems

I need to repaint the red/orange colored emblem area on the r/t emblem in the grill.  Doesn't testers make a color that was very close?  I seem to remember reading that somewhere in the past, if not testers, who knows where i can get enough touch up to redo the emblem, i can't see ordering a new emblem when the original is in very good shape overall.  I already replaced the rear emblem with a new one.  I can always have some custom mixed at my favorite paint shop if someone has the correct brand and code, but have never done an order that small. 

Thanks,

I've used Testors model paint to touch up emblems but I can't recall any special colors.

I did the same for the tail emblem :yesnod:

I would try pinstriping paint, available from Eastwood, etc. It would probably flow better than model paints, & hold up better to the elements. It's designed for automotive use.

got a name for the color to order?  I doubt the silver house of kolor pinstripe paint on the shelf is gonna work on an emblem.  I'll seach eastwood.
