Take the chassis number to vauxhall, they might be able to tell by looking at your car too...

two types of red Flame red and carmine red. Mine was carmine red (more orangey).

Vauxhall actually do faded paint spray cans to match weathered paint.

Try and buff car up 1st though to restore colour

The colour is on the vin plate at the front of the engine. Take to vauxhall garage and they will help you or call them.

I tin got a tin of red paint for my old car from the body shop. The numer should be on the VIN plate as said and will be a three digit numer. Something like 456 etc. I cant remember what the actual number is for carmine red though. :roll:

if it is flame red it will have the code - 79L/E547
but i had my spoiler painted carmine red and it looks exactly the same as flame red. So i dunno what urs would be. IN a paint code catalogue 79L/E547 is called flame red.
