rekab69 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi Guys, Need to find out the colour of my 1998 csw 110. I thought it was Rioja Red Micatallic LRC601 but I have recently bought a second hand "B" pillar and this is a darker shade of red so now i'm doubting the rioja... Any pointers? Many thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Post a photo (not too big!) and lets have a look. I think a 1998 vehicle will be either Rioja Red or I think the solid red was Rutland Red at that time, so maybe the pillar you have is Rutland Red.

paintman Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 There are several shades of most colours & this may be where the problem arises. As an example in DuPont Centari Ford Diamond White (transits etc) lists 9 different shades on FACTORY vehicles depending when they were built. Although to be fair I only usually come across the last two. Standox & Spies Hecker both list Rioja as having two shades. The later being bluer than the original.

BogMonster Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I reckon the vehicle is Rioja and the pillar is Portofino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
