Hi, can anyone tell me what the equivalent modern red paint would be for a 1966 crusader continental gt please.
Cheers

The closest match a classic car bodyshop made to my petrol tank was Signal Red code 32/Du Pont U5558.

I was told the colour was used on Triumph sports cars between 1962 to 1971. It is readily available from various companies that specialise in stuff for classic Triumphs.

I have also seen Ford Monaco Red (code 71245?) used in the early 1970's suggested but I have no personal experience of it.

Heres a picture of the what it looks like after it was resprayed using Signal Red:
