Well PBJ, you certainly have a discerning eye for pins, I made a few calls and got a pantone color code and you are right, the color is not quite as red as it should be although its close, and apparently the original machines (and aftermarket decals ) did suffer from bad cases of fade, most likely the red pigments were the culprit.... Since this was a smoldering basket case money suck I think Ill just live with it, The vinyl seems quality screen and the clear will help protect it from UV going into the future.
