Reply to "Building a Gr4 replica"

OK, as mentioned, we found the original 1971 V108 red on a spare headlight bucket we had lying around. The color is from a very early car chassis #1395. It's very orange-red-like and looks pretty similar to what I have seen in pictures on original Gr4 cars and also early 1971-72 production cars. So, that's the color we were aiming for.

We stripped the top layers off the bucket and polished through to the original red color underneath.

A paint scan came up with a near perfect match from a .... Renault (!!!). I can't distinguish the test spray from the original color so this will be a go :-).
