TomoHawk Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Not just any red. there are lots of flashy reds out there. Mostly GM colors, too. But the red of Ferrari seems special, What's the difference? Is there a formula/code I can take to the paint guy? I would like to get some to paint the metal stuff on the interior.

Kevin Shasteen Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 As crazy as this sounds-another "Real Red" color if you want it is International Red. This is where all the original Fire Trucks got their red from...most were Internationals. Intn'l Red is a very real DEEP red. Anyway-go to the nearest International House & check out their "International Red" and you will see that it rivals...yes even the Italian's Ferrari Red. I can hear the entire country of Italy taking a deep breath in shock as I said that. Intn'l Red is probably a lot cheaper, it wont sound as cool when you reply to someone who asks you what color is your car, "Yea, I got Intn'l Red on my car" heh-just doesnt quite roll off the ole toungue.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 You can get fire engine red in polyurethane at Graingers under the Rustoleum Marque. Any good paint store should have the color mix formula for Ferrari Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I called the Ferrari dealer before I had my car painted back in '95. Glasurit 300-12 is the bright red they use. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted September 30, 2002 Author Share Posted September 30, 2002 I tried asking around at a few body shops a bunch of years ago, and most said they won't give out the formula, or paint your car that exact color because their afraid of getting sued for "color trademark infringement???"
