Reply to "What was the Mangusta Red that was used?"

Larry, I think that Rosso Fuoco is correct (see Maserati list). I think the original color was quite a bit more orange than say, a 70's Ferrari (which had a lot more blue and then progressively added more orange during the 1980s in Rosso Corsa, then Rosso Corsa -6, then Rosso Corsa -9 as used in the F40). Seeing 8ma1074 (which had been at least re-topcoated, but I really think door jambs were original paint and matched) from these pictures looks very orange...I think just a very 60's kind of color. Very early Pantera may have been very close or same...

I'll have to look, a few years ago I looked at the paint mix (the balance of base colors) on Rosso Fuoco on maybe a BASF jobber website, and the balance of orange is really strong. I went deliberately more blue...with Ferrari Rosso Corsa -6. Ferrari also has a Rosso Fuoco, their color is way different (very, very blue/purple)--Lee
