It's just an oxide red primer, no?

Rustoleum red primer is what I've always been told and what I use.  I do a second coat with a clear flat, to seal the primer.  It seems to hold up pretty well.

The original finish was like red oxide primer but it had a sealed look rather than the fuzzy look of primer.  Shooting some matte clear on it would be one approach.  I use X-O red primer because it actually goes on with a smooth finish and looks like the original finish.  Get it at Tru Valu.
