Fire-engine Red stain under varnish?

A customer wants me to stain a west-facing sapele exterior door
fire-engine red.

McCloskey/Valspar; Pratt & Lambert; Sikkens...nada.

Any know of a good choice? Cabot is coming to an Ace nearby and I'll
look at their "Indian Corn Red," but would sure prefer not to reinvent
the wheel on this.

TIA

Have you considered using automitive paint in an actual fire engine red
color? Or, as a plan B, contact one of the fire engine manufacturing
companies, inquire about the manufacturer and model number of the paint
and then reach out to the paint manufacturer to ascertain if they could
provide pigment for in the varnish of your choice..
