1965 Rally red paint

[Sander B.]

i am trying to get the correct as possible color rally red
my painter/paint supplier has the brand Spies Hacker.

i found several codes on the internet of ppg,dupont,akzo.....etc....ect
next week i will go to my supplier to see if we can cross reference these codes.

but maybe someone knows the right recipe for Rally red ?
so he could make it, if no luck with finding the code ?

thanks Sander,

Sander,

if you wan a "REAL" match codes are worthless as materials have changed so much over the years. What you need to do is have a custom blend made from an original sample. If you have any areas to take a sample from ,like the interior. That would be the best place to start.

Just my 2 cents. Rich

Rich, is tool that the panit mixers use a type of camera. and how close does the match get, the reason I ask is I would like to paint my headlamp door, but would like a match.

Sander, I not trying to high jack your post. I to am curious to Richs response.

Ed,
good question and not a high jack of the thread it is very relvent to whats going on here...
The Photo spectromiter as it is called will only come up with a close variant. In other words if you are lookng for rally red and you have the paint scanned it will come up with someting close now this could be a 1986 toyota corolla red but it wont be a dead on match you will still have to tint from there.

ok Rich so the 86 toyota color would be a close match ?
i know getting the exact color as back in 65 would nearly impossible

is the rally red a darker red than the 63/64 riverside red ?
the current color it had was darker and not sure it was correct rally red

Sander:

The Riverside Red has an orange tint to it. The Rally Red is more red.
