Default manifold paint

on my99 sti the red paint is flaking off, i have heard on here that it is a common problem, I have started to take most of the paint that would come off with my hands to leave the silver.

Have been looking at the Hammerite paint, and there red only comes in the smooth finish and not the hammered finished.

so my question is what paint to use to give the same colour and effect as standard.

thanks Ian
