Reply to "Building a Gr4 replica"

I'm pretty obsessed with getting the red color for this car right, i.e., getting it as close to the original red as possible.

So i did one further check of the color we came up with. The red was mixed from a scan from the original red on an early '71 headlight bucket BUT, is the early '71 red, the same as the red used on the later '72 euro GTS and Gr4??

So I send the paintsample to Chris Beck in Switzerland to compare it to his original GTS red.

I think it's pretty convincing, they compare really well. Good thing is, that the color is a modern paint from a Renault that can be mixed at any time.
