Can find the official name or a code. Its the 2006 Gemballa GTR car. Garrett wants THIS color and I need to get it mixed and painted ASAP. Any help or suggestions as to where to find this or one REAL DARN CLOSE?

Thanks

Nicole

At a first glance, I thought this was a RUF. Then I saw the Gemballa details... This looks somewhat Guards Red to me.

Are you going non-metallic, non-pearl? Clearcoat?

Dean_Fuller

They list it as an orange..also saw where it was called a BLOOD ORANGE. If it looks like guards red then your monitor color is off a little I think. It is a REDDISH Orange though.

Nicole

OK.

It might be easiest for you guys to visit car websites and see, if any mfg has a similar color listed for one of their cars. Or walk some dealer lots. Then you can just take that formula.

Of course, any painter can custom mix a color for you - which he'd probably have to, if it's not available from a mainstream brand. But then you might have some risk when you need to repaint something down the road.

I don't know ...but damm that is a nice color!

Here is Guards Red on the right.....

Dean, when you figure it out, write it down.

Unless your son objects ( and that's cool if he does), I have one up here in the mid-atlantic that's begging for that color sometime during 2011.

Gonna need seats redone, too.

The more I look at this color the more I think WOW! My S4 would look GREAT in this...but then this color would have to change so Thats out the window.

This is REALLY a nice color. I am impressed with his ability to "see" better than I.

Dean_Fuller

I'm sure he would feel flattered.

Dean,

Maybe this link will be helpful:

Code L21E = Blood Orange

It looks like a match to me.

Very nice color... Quite fetching!

Maybe no need for a custom mix-
Go to your paint supplier and ask to see the tinting colors
( the ones they mix with) . Some of the Reds are stunning.
If you find something you like, just use it . Also,there would be a better
chance of it matching later if needed as the tints are made
at the factory by the paint maker - no in the field mixing involved.
PPG had a tinting red that the street rod guys used- bright!
You car will be outstanding when done- good job.

I saw that earlier and it is close....it may be my best shot but still looking for more just to make sure.

Dean_Fuller

I emailed Gamballa and I did get a reply.

"Dear Dean,

I sorry this is a custom color the Color was supplied by the Customer !


Sorry I cant help !

Best Regards

Heinz"

So I'm still looking.

Dean_Fuller

I THINK this color would look best in a NON Metallic...but I will use clear as well.
Thoughts? A pearl would be nice too but that might be a little much for my first paint job....ever.
