[QUOTE="Clay, post: 83085, member: 3621"] Mine was a very light pinky-red colour which was very badly applied and crazed, hence the repaint which started this thread. When I stripped it, the paint was very thick, paint on paint on paint, which was probably the reason for the crazing. Under the first few coats I found a very dark red/maroon patch (my works order says 'red'). I have had some Ford Imperial Maroon mixed and that's what I will be repainting it with. I will post some pictures when finished but, of course, your screen calibration will also affect the colour you see and don't even bother introducing inkjet printing! I'll post the finished tank but it may be a couple of weeks away due to other commitments and if you think it looks right, then Ford Imperial Maroon is the one to go with. Incidentally, I have emailed Andrew Walker a few times at [email]seriesa499@voc.uk.com[/email] but I never get a reply. Is this the correct address? [/QUOTE]
