Default Norwood floor color

I am doing a sort of "frame off" restore on my 72 Norwood Camaro (yes I know the rear frame rails are welded to the floor...I am replacing those also) my question is: what is the correct color to paint the underside to get the right Red Oxide look. All the red oxide primer I have seen is way too brown.

Go here, 3/4 of the way down and I have a paint sample shown from my 72 Norwood T/A compared to the OEM Paints Red Oxide. (You probably know already, but by 1972 Norwood was the only plant building F-bodies.)

I did know Camaro's were only built in Norwood in 72, I guess I coulda left off the Norwood part in my question. OEM seems to have only rattle cans, is that correct? I am looking for paint in quarts, I am painting the floor and trunk inside and out and also the rear frame rails.

I have found PPG Epoxy to be a good match.
I believe they actually call it red oxide
Shoot me an email and i will get the part number for you.
