G'day Folks,
I have an FE special with the typical red and white interior but it's missing the front seat upper and lower plastic trims.
I have a set of very good ones to install but they are from an FC which means they are the standard black.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding the correct colour/sheen and brand of paint that
i should be using to re-colour these pieces before installing.
Thank you very much.

Richard, the plastic trim colour was matched exactly to the seats.

Thank you very much Gents !
I really appreciate the offer of the "fall red" paint Vern but as Ken has pointed out,is that a match to the red in the FE ?
Also, what sheen should the correct colour paint be ?

That would be great FE_UTE, thank you very much.
I am more than happy to pay the postage cost should you find a suitable piece.
Thanks very much.

Richard ..I dont know if Fall Red was a FE colour , but the trim code on my FC is 304 - 627 , which translates to Fall Red - Black ..if that matches your plate , good start ..Vern ..

Sorry Rich...searched all my boxes and came up short...I think they may have gone walkabout at the last swapmeet I went to.

Hi Rich,
Fall Red was an FE trim colour. I'm pretty sure I have some old bits and pieces in that colour. Just remember the colours do change a fair bit over time my Teal plastic bits certainly did. Where are you located?
Cheers
Graham
