So, Reeeeeeeeeeeeally, what do you think about my fuscha manifold? I almost bought pink engine paint before I found one called Ruby Red. I figured it would be close enough. But it is fucsha. It looks like I tried to match but badly missed to me. I like how the paint looks, but the color........not so much. In certain light it looks not too bad, close to Ruby colored, But in brught light it is REALLY fucsha. I will live with it for a while before I decide what I want to but for now just not really happy with it. :( The verdict on the rest of the mode will wait to see how I feel once I get Ruby out for a drive.

Honestly, it is REALLY pink. What did the paint can look like? I've looked at engine paints, and usually the lid is the color (or close to it) of the paint. If it's very different, I would ask for a refund, and find another color - that is, if you don't like it, which it sounds like you don't.
Just looked here:

There's one called Maroon that might be closer to what you're looking for...

Maybe you could leave it pinks, and add darker burgundy flames... That would tie it all together, give you a little flash!
Good luck!
