Hi Mike,
The instructions may be found online here: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10033522 (Assuming that you're looking at this particular kit - if not, the other variants may be available at the same site)
It appears that the instructions suggest Tamiya TS-49 Bright Red for the main body. I don't think there is an equivalent colour in the bottled paint range (There's only the one Gloss Red in Tamiya's bottled paint range).
