New paint colour to replace Rosso Red?

[wrinkly]

Having been rear ended (as reported last week), car is due for some major work at the rear. I am going to take the opportunity to have a total respray done. When I bought the car, which is Rosso red, I intended after a year or so to have a respray, but the accident has brought this forward a touch. I love the Rosso red as a colour, but would like to change to a less problematic paint type. Is anyone aware of a colour similar to the Rosso red that I could use instead?

They are scrapping Rosso , so you will have to have it done in another colour anyway. Ours is Rosso and is having a full respray in February. We are having the replacement colour to Rosso.

Thanks Mrs. Fish - a mine of information as usual. Any more details?

According to TMS the replacement colour is called Red Glow Pearl.

That looks pretty good - not a bad match either

Brian - talking of full resprays, and as you're not too far away from me, I'd be very interested to find out who does the job for you and what sort of price we are talking about

The car (must find an appropriate name for it) is at tvr bodyshop in Bristol. Jason Webb there was very, very helpful, and as I also intend to have a headlight conversion, and rear light upgrade at the same time, they seem to be the best people for the job. Prices are not yet finalised, but will let you know, if you are interested, as the work is progressed. Sod it, I think I may as well have new carpets and new dash as well!

Well mines in my profile if you want to have a look. It's not a metallic finish and there have been no problems with fading or colour matching with the two repairs I've had to have done due to car park numpties.

Nice motor! Your rosso red looks very different to mine, and looks more of a 'flat' colour, not the sort of sheen that mine has (had) - is your rosso more like the standard Ferrari rosso red, not the tvr rosso effect? Sorry if I'm mumbling away, it's all a bit confusing, but the rosso effect is certainky more like that on the 350 shown earlier.

[quote=julesm]Must admit that the Knightfire looks superb on the T350!!


It certainly does! And yes, mine is (was) a pearl rosso, not a flat rosso red, where possibly some of the confusion re rosso occurs. Have spoken at length with Jason Webb at tvr bodyshop, who is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, just have to decide which way to go.
