Whats the paint code for red?

[after_shock]

I know this was discussed not too long ago but cant find the thread on it!

Trying to get my door handles painted and gave what I thought was the red paint code and they got done silver!

Can anyone remember the paint code for red?

Cheers

There's a couple, so it depends on your car. Our VXR8 is F143 - Red Hot in the UK, but Sting Red in Oz. I believe the Ro's are known as Sting Red over here, and have a different code.

I think Silver against the red would look good. Get the mirror covers done as well.

It should be on the plate on the bonnet slam panel. F143 does ring a bell.

This thread just reminded me Sean that after a little rub on the engine plate i realised it was misplaced dirt and actually read, RED HOT. Honest I think if you do the same on your Ro you'll realise all along I WAS RIGHT

My VXR8 is 687F Sting Red (Red Hot in Oz)
All the red VXR8s I seen are the same,does anyone have a F143 VXR8 ?

Yup - mine's F143, hence my reply above. LS3, build # 256. Sting Red on the build plate, but Vauxhall advertised it as Red Hot in the UK.

I gave him the code which is F143 on the touch up sticks ive got and also on the car and the paint he got was Silver!

Cheers Sean will pass that code on see if have anymore luck!!

Mel, you have to be kidding don't ya? You know thats a right load of old cobblers, there is no dirt to rub off on my plate or any part of my car come to think of it!!!

Not only that i can't believe i replied to this after my statement made on Sunday while standing in my drive, is this a conspiracy thread? Fancy this turning up a day or two later!!!
