Right shade of red??

[tranyman]

I am restoring a 74 pickup which had been brush painted grey by the last owner.

I want to respray it the standard red with white detailing 'front grill etc'.

What colour code or information would I need to order the correct shade of red and white paint from the paint supplier?

I know that lots were supplied in primer then painted in all sorts of different shades but I want to paint it in the standard factory red.

Thanks

I don't know whether it's the same red, but the fire wagons like madmarks and mine are RAL 3000.

No it's not that ral 3000 is fire engine red.

[madmark]

it took me along time to find that colur (ral 3000) ! still not convinced its a perfect match maybe they do difrent shades !

The trouble with red is it fades really badly, so any colour match has to be lighter each year you get it.
