What Tamiya X- bottle paint formula makes a believable Chevrolet Engine Red color?

For example, what proportions of Tamiya X-6 Orange, X-7 Red, and/or X-8 Lemon Yellow acrylic would be good?

I normally don't mix paints to achieve a certain color, I'm colorblind. So I look for these already made up. MCW now has small jars of unthinned enamels in lots of useful shades such as correct engine colors, tinted carburetor and others.

I mix Tamiya paints for Chevy orange and Detroit green. I don't even measure. I add the colors into a bottle lid a little at a time until it looks close enough.

At the risk of my being "that guy" - how about perusing eBay for a bottle of Testors acrylic Chevy Engine Orange ? I realise that you'd specified Red ; and that there is indeed a difference between Chevy Red and Chevy Orange. If it's the latter you're seeking, I'd recommend the aforementioned Testors acrylic version. no muss, no fuss. I've had a bottle of it for close to 10 years, and it's just as good as the day I first opened it.
