Hi Hans,
The early red was much more red than what I think you want. It was only
later that the burgundy was used. I'll put some brochure pics on my site
today so that the color code references have some context. And, if
anyone has more data to add, please let me know.

I would like to paint my tank a nice dark red, almost a burgundy, and have seen quite a few pictures on the web of loops where the paint seems to be a metallic dark red, typically with white fenders. Is this what Greg Bender refers to as 'early Ambo/V700 red'? Would someone have a PPG code for that color? I have checked the archives and found references to silver but not red. I have a spare tank that seems to have been painted in dark red, but the paint is so faded that it is impossible to get a match from this tank. Thanks, Hans 1972 Eldorado (brush painted) |
