Did you very think he knows the color is Red, but what shade. After all there were five different shades of red offered in '05. Maybe it is a blue or any other color, he is simply wanting to find out the actual name.
Sometimes members can be really rough on a new member.

Then he should try to be more explanatory in his thread. Stop using the same "language" you use texting your friends.

Is he? Is the U9268 (?) the color he thinks the car is or the color he wants to paint it?
