aye

[colebag]

what color red is the paint?

[Spudly]

79L Flame Red


But you will never get a colour match as it fades at different rates, you will need to either mop it all up or respray it bud:thumb:

[colebag]

ok mate cheers for the info

[vaughanmc]

What reg is the car though ? Looks more like Carmine Red to me...E535

[Johnny A]

flame pink

[Spudly]

Tis definately flame Vaughan, and mk2 aswell you can see the dash :p

[vaughanmc]

G reg on Pistonheads though ? lol

[colebag]

its a mk1 g reg

[vaughanmc]

My Mk1 Nova is a 1990 G reg and it's Flame Red but that one doesn't look like Flame Red

Looks alot like Carmine Red

[muzzy]

That would probably come up a fairly good shade of red with a bit of t-cut, the door would probably need more than t-cut though :wtf:

[colebag]

ye im after a door for it at the minute havnt got round to t-cuting yet.
so would you say its carmine red will need to no when i find a door that needs painting

[vaughanmc]

I'd say it's Carmine Red by that picture - Get a paint code off the VIN Plate :)

E547 - Flame Red
E535 - Carmine Red

Was just gonna say looking back its a mk1 wing but id still say its flame as 21 years in just about long enough for a respray and plenty of time for re-fading lol
