Red Stripe Paint.....

[madspikes 41 1 Cars]

I have searched and searched but still can't find the answer to this seemingly simple question.

 

GTi red stripes what paint code / closest match from halfords or online supplier? I can't 100% work out if they are Matt or a shiny finish.

 

Thanks,

Clive

I have the paint code somewhere.

 

Will have a rummage.

First thing that came to mind for me was this;

It sprayed mine with Rouge Vallelunga p3kb and thick layer of clear coat.

It's the color of the red 205 gti's.

 

I don't know if it's the original color, but looking at red 205's it's pretty close.

A good layer of clear coat will make them shine more that the original ones.

Should it be shiny?

Its a satin finish I think.

Are you recolouring trims or do yours just look tired?

 

I gave mines a Red T-cut (that i found in the boot of a GTI in a scrappies) followed by a coat of wax, and a coat of Autoglym Gloss protector and they came up fandabbydozie.

Indeed they are; I have new stripe that is satin, almost matt. However, with a good gloss it looks better imho...

I took my strips to a paint place they colour matched & mixed the paint and put it in rattle cans, looks good.

I am straighting out some of the strips, and they require and small amount of filling.

Not sure if it's actually the right code but I used P3KB (same as my car) and they came up like this

 

 

 

and this is the OE strip now fitted

 

 

close up the OE is a much flatter finish, but strangely didn't look out of place on the car with the side trims being OE, but colour wise I think it's very close
