1980 Red paint code
Hello,
Can anyone tell me the right paint code for my red 1980 corvette. I bought a new sport mirror and it needs painted. was having trouble finding the right one. I think it is the only red in 80. Almost an orange hue to it. Thanks in advance, Brian

Paint mixed to the original paint code may get you close (if the paint on your car came from the factory). But, it may have faded or darkened over the years. Your painter will likely have to modify the formula a bit to get a good match to the existing paint.
