Red Colour Code for the Panels!!

Called Ducati UK and got a paint code from them, got some paint made up sprayed it on and guess what? no match!! it is far too light and looks more orangey than red, any ideas??

Thanks

Rob


RS Bikepaint in Barnsley will insist that the Ducati red is not one shade but changes depending on model and year. If you phone them (details below) they will ask you some details and if they have a match from their database they will guarantee the match (i.e. refund if not right). ONly once I have had to decide if I thought 2002 ST2 blue was a match for 2002 M620 blue. It was.

Touch up sticks cost £6 from them, the blue was a set of 3 but the red for my 749 was a single one. Aerosol cans are £10 a shot and I resprayed the metallic silver panels on my ST2 with it and it turned out very well. (see pics on the home page link below if you want to see the results - ST2 section). I'm thinking of getting 1/2 litre can of red to spray my race fairing to match the tank. That comes in at £38 though.
