I wonder if anyone knows what colour would be the best colour match to the Lambo.

Hi Dave, the only red I can see Lambo used before the mid 80's was Rosso Siviglia code 190 and used between 1978 and 1990. If you google "Rosso Siviglia" and look at images it does seem to be the same colour. Doubt you'll get it in Halfords thoughLOL

I am going to throw a hand grenade in now.

You do not want an exact match to a paint chip as such Luminosity needs to be scaled so the colur shade has to change.

not sure if this site is helpful for a supply of paint?

click on the dropdown for different Lambo colours

Dosent seem to be any reds in that list though which is strange, the full range is here - http://www.lambocars.com...rghini_paint_codes.html

But the one I mentioned before is the only 80's red, looks about right too.
