Anyone know the correct colors for the above parts on a 1954 Kaiser supercharged 4 dr?

All of the above are a maroon color. At one time Duplicolor produced a truck paint, Dark Canyon Red T278, that was a match. MG automobile engine red is also a very close match and is available from Moss Motors, an MG parts supplier. It will take several coats to achieve the desired color.

Thank you.  All three areas on my '54 Kaiser are different colors, some due to fading over time, others due to previous owners changing parts.
