If Dingotone is oil based then blending red artists oil paints onto the faded burst may be an effective 4th option.
Oil paint blends and feathers really well.
Dab small amounts of the oil paint around the inside edge of the burst and then work it out towards the edge with a decent brush, maybe a cm or 2 wide. Then apply more little blobs closer to the edge and keep working it outwards.
You could try keeping the brush very slightly (VERY slightly) moist with low odour turps or something similar if you need to but try without to start.
You're looking to create a "filter" effect with the oil paint and the strength of the colour of that filter is controlled by how much paint you blend on.
Build the effect up slowly and leave plenty of time for oil paint to dry.
