City of Nottingham BR Crimson May 1964?

[DCB]

Having sold a mint little used dull red Wrenn City which I couldn't bring myself to repaint  I now need a replacement and a Hornby Dublo Duchess of Montrose  is lurking in the loft.
The only area and era correct Duchess for my WR layout  is City of Nottingham which was at Swindon in May 1964 on Railtour duty, highly polished and it what looks like a considerably lighter shade of Crimson than most RTR stock and very shiny,  certainly not Hornby eggshell. I tend to paint gloss and then weather with matt black, grey etc.

Any suggestions for paint shade, I prefer rattle cans,  Presumably red oxide primer...  Many thanks

You can't really rely on one photo from that era for a shade, let alone a red (lighting, exposure, film emulsion, how it is reproduced etc).

 

Unless I had absolute proof it was painted any different to anything else, I'd do it in my favoured BR maroon but a cleaner finish.
