Our 103 Twin II had red on the tips and nose, not orange.

Factory colour name for the orange on a Twin II is "Orange RAL 2004 Nitro-Cellulose-Kombilack" from Lackfabrik Bader KG. This is from the original manual for our 1986 G-103. Weird thing is they call it red paint in the manual.. There's also no spec for the blue paint on the ship. Why they used nitrocellulose lacquer I have no idea. The only other thing I own finished with that sort of paint is a 1967 Fender Mustang.

Didn't they make G-103 /Acro tailbooms?

Your local automotive paint dealer will probably match the color for you. I got matching blue and orange that way, but I took in a broken hunk of the nose of a G-103. Check with them first and then maybe pull the trailer to your paint shop.
