cant give you an answer but you can take say the airbox or down tube cover into supercheap etc and match to the cans

Good timing! 
I just bought some Killrust epoxy enamel from Bunnings yesterday.
I have sprayed a small patch on top of the eixisting red on mine to see if the colour matches.
I'll be doing a second coat tomorrow morning.
I'll post up a photo and let you know in a couple of days how it looks.
What are you doing to your postie???
Johnnie, that's a good idea^^^
I've found that the red on the plstic bits (airbox, downtube cover etc.) are actually slightly different red to the rest. Maybe faded a bit.

Ah ha! Stavros was giving me a hard time about "monza" red, and thats what its turned out to be

As promised for Hessian:
I have painted a small section of the frame with Killrust epoxy enamal from Bunnings (around $10-$11).
No primer required, approx 16 hours between coats. This is 3 coats.
It's a nice red, very close to the standard postie red, maybe a little darker. If you can imagine when it's painted next to the standard paint it looks like it is new paint that hasen't faded. Gloss level is pretty similar. I took some photos under fluro light (with and without flash), then a couple outside (overcast).
Overall, I think it is probably ok to use if you don't mind it being a little bit darker than standard.
If you want me to email bigger photos, let me know.
Anyway, here are the shots:
