Hello there!
Im new to these Forums, so first things first! Just wanna say gidday! Ok, now that thats done, im hoping that some of you people that are clued up on AU's can help me out. Ive been hunting around for a colours to paint a few panels as a test colour, and yesterday spotted a brilliant deep red wich was on an AU. Now, since my jaw dropped at the depth of the red in the sunlight, I have seen a few more around this colour. Best I can describe it was was a light maroon in the shade, deep bright red in the sun. Can anybody give me the colour code, and name... and possibly a few pics of this colour? I would be verrrrrry greatfull! Cheers. |

Ah yes, the old Barossa and Regency. regency is the best of the dark reds, and Hot Chilli the best of the shiny reds, IMO.

Red, I thought it was always green. My colour blindness must be worse than I thought.
Explains why I get funny looks when I don't stop at the lights. Uncle Ken  PS I'm glad you don't show off. LOL

There's nothing better than Winter White though .... clean.
LOL I must admit though ... Regency is a very nice shade indeed ... especially when in awesome condition ... Glenn ... if you had the cash ... I'd get a few more coats of clear over your current paint ... will look even deeper.
