That's GREAT color! Seriously, it's Allis-Chalmers Orange? Who makes that? My Goblin ended up School Bus Yellow.

Van Sickle has at least 4 Orange enamels. There is AC Persian Orange #1 and #2, AC Orange (Safety Orange) and Kubota Orange #2. Great colors, just be careful since they require several thin coats. Too heavy handed and they will run. (Not as forgiving as Rustoleum which I find can be sprayed with pretty heavy coats.)

I've debated painting a Goblin in Estes Vampire livery.

Gordon. His Vampire decal fit a full size Goblin well without trimming.

I also thought you could build a two-stage version, and call it "Nosferatu II."
