Mk1 red paint

Post by Spokey » 04 May 2009, 21:44

anyone know of a very close match car colour to the original Honda red - or is it down to Leisure trail for a can from them ( or anywhere else ? )
Tried a car shop at the weekend who tried to match - thought we'd found the right one, a Fiat red - but it's a tad "pink" in comparison ...

Cheers

My old Mk II was the pink one - I used to photoshop the colour in any pics so that it looked red ... ;oP
One reason it had to go - like something Barbie would ride ...
