I'm sending my chassis, hood and sleigh to the paint shop on tuesday morning, and I'm from the Ottawa Valley area
and just wanted to know if there was a certain red paint that Roy Teske or Mike O'Rielly use? I prefer to use the same
paint code or # as I hope to see them at a couple of rallies. I know Mike, after three yrs I should be ready for the 2015
OLD SLED RUN at Constance bay. lol

I used Nissan Scarlet AJ4. Not the original colour , but it's really red. When I tried to match the original colour with a paint chip, it came out orange. Barrie or Bruce can probably give you a closer match. Roy.

Thanks Roy, I probably go with the Nissan Scarlet AJ4 Red, at least if I make it out this year to Constance Bay, I won't look totally at of place.lol
I had scanned, what I thought was the orginal color, but it almost looked orange, like the Chevy Vega's orange!

When I have tried to match the paint, I too ended up too orange. In the US, the paint below is available in a standard color and this is what I use to paint.

Nice paint job. Look forward to seeing you out on the snow with it.
