Anyone know where I could find wrap to match the Performer/International Metallic Wine Red (KW) wrap from the late 80's?

Considering adding to my Performer setup, but may require some rewraps to do it...

Is that a color you favor? What about rewrapping the whole kit in a different Sonor (ish) color or veneer?

Frank, I did, which is part of what prompted this question :)

Jules, I'm looking at things from both playability/functionality and collectable value. That, and it would be cheaper/easier to only need to wrap 2 toms to match an existing kit than to rewrap an entire 7 pc kit.

I completely understand. I was thinking in contingency, if a match is not available.
