Default Oxblood paint
Hi people, hope to find you amazingly well.
i need your help: I have a 1974 C3 Vette in Oxblood internal color. I need to do some retouch and I would like to know the exact color code of Oxblood. I have found some sellers selling spray paint but as I am in Europe you can’t send spray across the Ocean.
so I would like to find the color code in some way and buy it here. Pantone, RAL, RGB will work great. Thanks

For tiny scratches you can sometimes find nail polish that works. Other than that I have nothing else to help.
