Does anyone know what paint code Rangoon Red was? Second, was it a single stage paint or multilayer? I presume it was laquer....

Thank you

CSX3020 in Rangoon:


CSX2375 as well....The car I am replicating.
Back to the original question, Ford used two different codes (and slightly different mixes) for Rangoon Red. First code is the most common "J" (62-79) the second was "2V" (also 62-79).......Both (at least in the 60's) were acrylic based single stage paint jobs.....
