I read somewhere that the closest shade is Ford Sunburst Red. Somewhere on here. But I can’t find it now

Sadly, the thread referred to above, never really gained any traction. It could have been a great source for this sort of info.

That is a cracking thread!

Might it be worth a Board Index on its own so easier to find and respond to?

To my mind It's the sort of thread that might develop more readily if its out in the front so to speak?

Maybe someone with a bit of computer savvy could bring together some of these oft called for threads. Those that spring to mind are colours for various components. The reds and yellow's etc etc There are many others that I can't think of offhand
