also while we are here, anyone know the colour code or name of the new mini RED and the colour code or name of the white they use on the roofs?

maybe they might be the go.



The new Bini red is called Chilli Red. I was thinking about using it myself. The other red I like is Holden Red Hot, seen on the brand spanking new Dunnydore.

Honda make great colours, not just reds, and I say that having never owned a Honda, so no bias.....

BTW, nice car.

Anton.

I think Monza red was a Ferrari colour too. A bit dark, I reckon- we have a Clubbie that colour. :wink:

My car (see avatar) is Jet Red- was original 1970 colour.
Similar to Ford's Flame Red, which I use for touchups..
<edit> when I put it on the road, the RTA insisted it was orange, even though the plate says Jet Red! What a bunch of wankers... :lol:

Mandarin Red was the colour of my old Monaro. Its a Holden colour, most of the time my mates were crapping on me about it being orange, but ya get it at night, and it was the nicest colour red ya could ever imagine.

I wonder did any of the reds fade much in the 6 years since this thread was started?
