Carnival Red... Modern Urethane Paint Color?
3 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Does anyone have a modern urethane paint color comparable to the
original Carnival Red that is readily available in the US? How about
the gold Sprint bumper color? I know all of the original
discontinued paint catalog numbers are readily avalable on this
forum, but I don't know their modern urethane eqivalents. I have
seen in this forum that the modern Ford Diamond White is roughly
comparable to the earlier Lotus Cirrus White. Thanks!

My '63 S1 was Carnival Red. After 400 hours of body prep / restoration
completed in 1997, after a colour match up to the origional I used 1996
Chrysler "Viper Red" in Zickens with a clear coat - as close to the
origional "Carnival Red" as Damn is to swearing. More "brilliant" also.
