The madness continues ......

Ok so the old girl has a new full leather interior courtesy of the factory boys and is mulberry and magnolia ( think Wimbledon and strawberries and cream smile

Now due to an OVERSIGHT and not being clear enough when back after lemans she went back for some finishing off and accidently made her way into surface and design and has decided to get naked and put back to better than original condition smile

The question is I am not a major fan of the mica red so will change to another colour ........

My 500 griff was formula red which I liked a lot so now trying to decide what colour to go for bearing in mind the interior ....

so I need ideas and preferably presented with photos of the colours to help me decide

Look forward to seeing what you can come up with

Good old fashioned Ferrari Rosso red.....It was the choice of the original owner of my wedge and I liked it so much I had the car sprayed the same colour again.

Have to say that I'm not a huge fan of bright red on any car (except an F40, although yellow is better) as IMHO it's a bit "shouty" and wannabe sports car, and I think wedges are loud enough in other ways. I like ruby mica red, but as that's the colour of mine I'm slightly biased

F40's are usually Rosso Corsa Fer 300/12 (Glasurit)
308's all the way to the 355's had
Rosso Chiaro
Rosso Dino
Rosso Rubino
Rosso Corsa
Rosso metallico

These colors even changed model to model even though it went by the same name. Glidden, Glasurit and PPG have all been a source for Ferrari factory paint.

+1 for candy apple red.
Drove a candy apple Chimera with Magnolia years ago (it was brand new at the time). Was beyond my price range in those days else I would have had it.
Combo worked very, very well.

No idea what colour it is but this is the wife's hair brush and the camera probably don't do the colour justice. But it is the best red I have ever seen.
