You can repaint the dicast but you need to strip the paint off of it and start over. Take it apart and remove all of the chrome parts etc. I put them in zip lock bags to keep track of the parts. Brake fluid will strip the paint, you can put in all in a bucket and leave it for a few days. At some point scub it to remove the paint. Once it's all removed wash the body, and make sure it's dry you can spray paint the body. Let it dry for at least a couple of days and then reassemble. I have no idea where you could find that color, I think I would start at an auto parts store. If you dont want to go through all of this you might be able to get a modeler to do it for you. You could check a local model shop to see if they know anyone who would do it. Good luck and hope this helps. There are a couple of things you can do.
