Thurmalox makes High-temperature paint in a subsatntial range of colors.
They have one called copper (although to me it looks a bit to pink to
look right, but they also offer a "metallic brown" "rich metallic brown",
"metallic mahogany" and "russet" and "goldenfire brown". I suspect one
of the 6 would look sufficiently coppery for Ned's purpose. At worst, he
might have to lay down a base coat of one color and overspray with
another.
