Is that a standard color? It looks metallic and I don't think the reds were metallic. Looks great though.

Actually I might hafta agree with Laurel, I think it is Mica Ruby.

Remember, pictures don't always show the EXACT color ;)

san remo red looks a lot like rio red, pearl white and arctic white look alike, superblack and black mica look alike as do mica ruby and carmine ruby. I'm not gunna argue it though.

I wonder if the color isn't a repaint as they did the mirrors and grille, so its possible they changed the color from stock a couple shades without it being obvious.

True, but finding that out from a picture is kinda hard. ;)

mmmm Nice side skirts....

I know someone with a set!

It does not look like a factory colour.

"btw, everything here gets side tracked so why not"

I looked up in a 1994 brochure and theres a color named crimson pearl so I think thats it. And for those wondering thats a factory painted Liberty RS from Australia.

I f'n love that red! The other red I love is the old dark reds some of the Maseratis used to use in the fifties - kind of like vein-blood red (darker than arterial blood as its been deoxygenated).

My other 91 is Ruby Pearl Clearcoat - and it looks very similar to that.

Paint code 947
