Crimson Starmist - Rover colour??

[shortlad]

Someone told me that Crimson Starmist is a Rover colour called Nightfire Red. Does anyone know if this is right? Can get a touch-up pen from Halfords if it is.

Cheers

Careful!

Paint is never as it seems, for example, Rover did indeed produce a colour called Nightfire Red, but its also available in 3 different variants.

When dealing with paint take the paint code found on the passenger side inner wing to your local paintshop and get a proper match on that code...

Thanks for the advice. There is a trade bodyshop dealer near by so will pop into there.

Hi shortlad, my Chim is Crimson Starmist. Believe it or no I have two paint codes! The normal looking multi digit number on the engine bay plate and a simple code of P185 in the handbook.

I got a touch-up pot of the P185 from Webb’s Autos in Bristol and the match to the rest of the car was brilliant. Not just for paint chips either, even used it to re-spray the front headlamp surround.
