You may have to get that from Westfalia, or whoever made the fiberglass tops
for them.

Are you sure the rose color was paint and not a color molded into the
fiberglass?  I kinda recall that those rose colored tops used to be a deeper
red that still did not match the body dolor, but was much darker than they
are now.
