looks in the pic a bit like coral red ( Manly Tan)
also looks like red oxide primer. 
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.

If its an Oval Engine lid from Australia then it is Manly Tan
If its from America then its Coral Red.
this is the only red in Ovals.
Failing that yes its red oxide primer.

Sam that panel didnt come from Melbourne did it.
If it did then its probably off an old oval I have 5 years ago. And that was definitely Indian Red. Hand painted Indian Red too. Painted by Red
Indians. Oh now I'm just being silly.
Seriously it looks like Indian Red to me. Kool old colour

Sam
What is it you want to do re paint the car or just match that particular colour.
Do you want to paint the car in an Origional Aussie colour
We didnt get Indian red in Aussie only Manly Tan.
