red hot and flame red

[redcom01]

does anyone know whether the color for Holden nz/aus red hot (code F143) is the same as vauxhall's flame red code 79l/79u
I want to touch up the rear spoiler, vauxhall color looks pretty close
cheers

Checked this out with my paint department and under Holden we have no code F143 just wanna check this is the code?

I had problems getting a touch up pen for my red 04 cv8 monaro, vauxhall were out of stock and would be for a while. The only paint code i found was f143 red hot but i know other people have found different codes. The paint i got from paints4u was a spot on match.

Do you know what make of paint it was. Was it PPG, ICI, Standox?

I havent got a clue what paint system they used but f143 is not listed on halfords paint system. Might be worth emailing paints4u to find out

Yeah might just do that F paint codes are on the system we have but just not that code for some reason.

Although my car Is Oddyssey Blue, the guy in the Vauxhall bodyshop told me they use DuPont paint when they sprayed in my new drivers mirror.

Look for 687f Red Hot or Sting Red f143 as far as I know they are the same colour.

You sure? I reckon one code is for the metal and the other is for the plastic on my car, judging by the difference in shades.

No, that's why I stated " as far as I know" giving the op the 687f code, as he was looking at flame red (not a good match) yes it will differ on plastic to metal if not painted at the same time, conditions, etc, reds are difficult to match between stages on different materials at the best of times..

If I'm wrong then fecking me

sorry if this post comes of as arsey! just be grateful you don't have to live with me....

I run an accident repair centre in the south east, I assure you that Flame Red & Red Hot are nor the same colour, Sting Red & red Hot are though. As far as I know P.P.G. is the paint manufacturer that is used on all of our cars in australia. You should be able to go to any decent paint distibutor and your colour can be matched and mixed without much fuss, just one thing though red is the worst colour for U.V. breakdown,just be aware of this. My 2000 built Clubsport is finished in a solid colour where as the later vehicles that where exported are finished in a basecoat & clear system all f the E series commodores are definately the latter.

Holden plate says 687F,
HSV plate says "Sting Red".

What's the HSV Accent code for?
