Correct colorname/code for red fan shroud?

[teveo]

Hi, anyone have the correct color/code/name for the red fan shroud?

I just bought a correct engine for my 70S , now I am going to redo the fan, and fan shroud in correct colors.

The origional fan shroud had the color imbedded in the fiberglass and was not very bright. The picture of the red shroud in your question is way brighter and better looking than an origional.As to the color, since it wasen't a paint I guess you would need to match it with a computerized color matching machine?

Here is a few threads about how to restore the shroud:

Hi TV

I used a semi transparent "hobby" enamel paint I got from a modell aircraft store at Sandvika Storsenter. I have the box at home, and I can check the number if you like. It was a perfect match, and has the same semi transparent quality as the original(at least it looks transparet on the original shroud as you can se the darker fibers of the fibersglass truough the paint/red)

Thanks everyone for the info, that paint/name/code would be great John. I still havent got the engine but it is just a matter of logistics.

Its also the perfect time to go through the exterior, I am going for original looks. I have a 11 blade silver/gray fan and that one will fit I suppose. Have working CDI/ignition that will be used, MSD is good but I am bringing my car back to more original look.

Teveo, I glass blasted my fan and fan housing, they look perfect. To keep the look, I treated them with gibbs, I did not want to powdercoat, because I do not like the look of that. If you need some Gibbs, I have it in my garage. Its almost impossible to ship Gibbs to Norway by normal shipping(but you could probably resolve the shipping issue:-) Glass blast the CDI box too(mask the edges, so you dont fill it with glass!)
