I have painted a couple of cars Spanish Red using PPG products. Go to your
paint store and look at the old paint books under Datsun or Nissan. You'll
see the Spanish Red chip.. A good shop can cross reference the # that Datsun
used on their computer and mix a paint that is almost if not identical in
just about any paint you want but lacquer. The old lacquers are hard to
find because the newer paints (base/clear, urethanes, etc) are better
products and more envronmental friendly I guess. I've painted cars the
yellow and silver used in the 60's also. I can get you a current # off an
old can but its Snowing here at the moment and I don't want to go out to the
garage.
