Keep us posted, Whiskeydan. I'd imagine you'd need to go to white first, or at least many coats to cover that burgundy.

I'm still wodering where one gets this stuff custom mixed, as one previous poster mentioned. I'm in and out of Dallas enough that's I'd be willing to make a special stop to get the right stuff. I've got some interior bits to redo on practically everything, at least on those that don't just need new interiors!
