Title: Paint Colours for Emblems etc
Post by: KFH on October 25, 2007, 09:02:17 PM
Can anybody give me the colour shades/paint code for the red on the hubcaps, emblem on the boot lid and the badges on the rear guards for for an FC please.  Would the red be the same as the red on the horn button?  I presume the paint would be a gloss paint.

Thanks

Keith

Marinello red is the closest easily matched colour to use. The boot badge was not painted in a gloss paint -it is done with an opaque enamel and then metalised (plastic chromed) on the back to get the reflective effect. The clubs had these badges redone last year but I am not sure if Rares still have any left. I know the Vic club sold out very quickly
