Rally Red 1970 paint

Rally red paint for 1970 was code 73 but does anybody have the actual formula that is correct for this color ??? Having trouble getting it crossed over to be right. Ridge company has it too red in my opinion Any ideas Thanks. Greg

I used http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ on the wheels. Color turned out great. I'm not sure what formula it would be, but if you are considering doing an order maybe give this place a try. Shipped fast even during a natural disaster.

Yes, you ordered the right one. There was a review on there that commented how well the Rallye Red matched. So you don't have to just take my word. I ordered the spray cans. 2 of the 12 oz cans were enough to do five wheels with many light coats. I'm obviously not a professional painter, but I thought the color looked good.

I know it is sometimes tough to tell from a picture, but this seemed to match up to the unfaded color under the trunklid pretty well:

You are welcome. If I remember right, shipping time was about a week. Good luck!
