    Default Red Tip not International Harvester Red

    I have obtained and used Krylon International Harvester Red to restore a worn Red Tip. It is the most popular candidate among BBers as being the original and authentic color of the Red Tip. However, I must challenge this factoid's veracity as shown below [sorry for the poor focus, but new at this].

    From Left to Right

    1] Valspar Royal Garnet
    2] Untouched vintage Red Tip
    3] Another untouched vintage Red Tip
    4] International Harvester Red-painted Red Tip.
    In my opinion, International Harvester Red is pretty, but not close to the vintage Red Tip color. Royal Garnet is much closer.

    What say you?
