as i have a few chips on my bonnet, i thought my car was flash red, but when i tested the paint on the inside of door just to make sure it was right colour it seemed to be too dark, so anyone any idea what sort of red my car is......

What you need to do, is work out your car paint colour code - it will be printed in the service book with a load of other numbers/letters

also printed in spare wheel well on a label I believe

otherwise, ring your local dealer, parts or service dept, provide your reg number and ask them your paint colour code and name

Hope helps

posibly your paint work had been bleach slightly by the sun,happens alot with red cars,t-cut a small patch and try again
