if you have a sample any good paint supplier should be able to match it quite good

Mine is suppost to be the same as flame red. I will have a look for the code tomorrow. Mine is actually an opel colour.

Renault Rouge is good too, that is on willdatsuns old General. Mine was parked next to his at Brooklands last year and you could barely see the difference if any.

No it's not metallic a doesn't have any clear coat.
This is the code that Neil (another General owner ) gave me ICI-DH39.
When I went to a local paint supplier for an aerosol I had to cross referance it and it came under opel in the red section.

The aerosol is in the shed and its dark and spooky outside so I will have a look tomorrow.

Only two days late with this. Sorry.

The can I had made up has a code which is a little difficult to read but this is what it looks like to me ZIEGELROT OPE529 BN5315

This is suppost to be the same as ICI-DH39.

Hope that is of some help to you.
