On the FD-12, I thought the Rustoleum Burgundy was more of a purple color.   I ended up using their Brick Red, which was a little more reddish than the Holiday Bronze but looks fine to me.   The Brick Red is only available in a satin finish so I followed it up with a couple coats of Rustoleum Gloss Clear Coat and it turned out looking like a gloss finish.   The white color on the FD-12 cowl is a Rustoleum Gloss White.    The QD-20 is Rustoleum Antique White.
