novataken you paint code may not match the guide perfectly as different shades of the same colour have different codes

Yeah that above red is the colour i was thinking of, which was a rare(ish) gte colour and used on diamonds IIRC (all mk1).

The slight difference in hue could just be down to camera/light/age etc etc.

I would imagine its one of those old colours like the pea green that only came on early mk1 (A, B, C reg)
