Default Paint Question...

How does Andy get this deep blood red color? I know it must be a candy backed with gold metal flake, but its not Pactra candy red (thats too redish orange) and Pactra no longer makes the gold metalflake (at least according to the LHS). I was told at one time that it was vynal dye, but the only vynal dye I can find is not transparent and doesn't come out looking anything other than normal red paint. It can't be Parmas water based paint since its also not transparent and Andy has been using this color for at least 15 years. I don't see any Tamiya colors that seem to come close. Any help is appreciated now that Andys has closed up shop and moved to Trinity country.
