"With all the talk of nail polish I was wondering if anyone found a match for the team raleigh red color.

thanks marc garcia chicago IL"

I never had that good of luck finding either nail polish or standard auto touch-up paint that matched bikes, and have been going to a local auto paint shop to have bottles of paint mixed specifically to match my bikes. They did a great job of matching something as simple as the vaguely orangish shade of red that's on my Raleigh Team frame! Stuff like the flamboyant/candy paints on my Internationals and my Olmo are much, much tougher to match. 'bout drove the poor guys crazy. ;-)
