How to match Dakota Red

[Ralph]

I am rebuilding the first guitar I ever made - an unfinished Warmoth Telecaster body with a Warmoth neck. I got a new roasted maple neck from Warmoth. I plan to finish the body with Target Coatings pigmented lacquer and clear coat with EM6000.
Target will custom mix the lacquer but I do not have a sample for them to match. I could go go guitar center and cut a chip off a Strat but.......
Does anyone have a cross reference from Dakota Red to a Sherwin Williams color?

It looks like Dakota Red was GM color code 50 from 1957-1966. (Not to be confused with the white that is current color code 50). See if your paint supplier has the cross-reference to car colors, if you tell them GM code 50 Dakota Red from the late 50s I bet you’ll get it.
