My 67 BJ8 is factory red, and all the literature I find suggests that it is Colorado Red. I repainted it (from black as my dad purchased it in 1976) in the early 80's and it looks orange! It looks just like Ed K's in his signature (Ed - is your signature photo indicative of your car in real life?). Well, yesterday I pulled the chrome door trim off the exterior exposing the original paint, and it is indeed red - not orangy-red. What gives? I've seen several Healeys that are a true red and can't imagine they were all repainted a darker true red after leaving the factory. Did the guy mixing the paint make a mistake? Are there more than one formulas for Colorado Red? Can anyone lead me to a site with actual paint chip samples?
Thanks,
Robert
