Sting red paint code??

[IXLR8]

As per title does anybody know what the sting red paint code is for the Monaro ??
I'm at sprayers now to have omega door handles done but forgot to get the code off the plate under the bonnet ...
I think it had an A & U in it ?? But could be totally wrong

Ok brilliant ARAF

But under his codes it comes up as:

Opel sting-hot red 585 and 62U

No mention of Holden or vauxhall but under Opel and as for the code you gave me nothing ... Typical
I need sleep zzzz bloody night shift

According to Chipex, Vauxhall - Red Hot is the only colour listed for the VXR8 and the code is 62U ?

I can confirm from the Max Mayer paint system we have at work, that these come up as Sting red & Sting Torrid Red. The Torrid red looks like the Oz name for it.

That's why there is 3 paint codes variants of the same colour

Ohhhh Great 3 to choose from just my luck...
Well texted my brother in NZ and he's going to find out what colour codes they have just to add another confusion factor...
Luckily it's just door handles and not full front spray

Again thanks for all your help guys

Sting red 687F according to some of these, looks like it is the same as F143 and 62U !
