i hear red fto's colour is quite hard to match up.. to anyone with a red fto that has had a kit sprayed or whatever, do you know what the name of the paint was and what company it was purchased from?

Its a stock colour red... Passion Red or somehting like that. The jap code for it is R71B - which translates into an Aus number. Any decent auto shop can mix it up for you, I've got a can of touch up myself (brush, not spray can)

They say its hard to match because it oxidises badly (fades) and to match your car they really need a sample of your paint.
