Looks like I might have thrown a fly in the ointment here, so to speak!
I was only repeating what RS Bikepaint told me at the time, and I argued strongly that "surely there was only one Ducati red?"

I have just spoken to them on the phone, ordering a touch up bottle for both my red 749 and wifey's blue M620. They said that Ducati are very vague on colour codes and whilst Ducati insist that there are the same colours in their experience that is not the case. They work on model/year/colour.

Spray cans are still £10 ea, touch ups are £5 and they do 1/2 litre red which is a '3 pack' for £38. In actual fact, the metallic blue on the monster is a pack of 3 touch up bottles for base, colour and top coat. I am intending buying the 1/2 litre pack for a race fairing, if the touch up red looks right. I am confident that it will, and they (money back) guaratee that it matches.

Phew. That's all I know.

Cheers
Henry
