DB COLOUR CODE for RED

[WiSeGuYY]

Hey GODFATHER & The GANG

Today i had a visit where my PIGLET is beeing treated and To be repainted.

and The workshop asked me which RED i want to use , i said MECEDES PAINT .
They said great just give us the COLOR CODE , i answer i will get it from the net and tell it ( peace of CAKE ) .
then i was shoked how i was ignorant ( at least in this concern) .

i thought the color would be 568 ( HELLROTE) then i discover another 534 FIREROTE and 516 midium red and over 10 more tones.

NOW i need serious rescue if i can use the 568 or not?? or can someone find the color code of the RED PIG

can anyone give me a hand to confirm this color?

Hi ALL again, as you can see the number of red codes ( most of the 500 ) are many shades of red , on my best feeling is the 568 , looks that way on the computer , just need the confirmation from the masters .

Hi Tarek, I'd be quite confident in stating that the colour would be Signal Rot. Let me know if you don't agree with my thoughts, and perhaps tell me which RED you think it is. Regards Styria

Hey GODFATHER ,

Sorry for the delay was vout for bfew days , just back about an hour back.

SIGNAL RED or 568 is my feeling also , thanks for confirming.

You're more than welcome, Tarek. I am sorry that I took some time to respond to your query, but I had a period of a few days when I really had my head down to get things finished for the Mercedes Club concours and some essential repairs.

I take it that you are obviously making progress with your "Red Pig" preparation, so don't forget to keep us up to date. Regards Styria

N.B. Apologies for Moderator post.

Hello Tarek,
Glad to see how much help you got with the colour question. Just to see what would happen, I Googled 'signal rot benz', and got a link as follows:

http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w201-190-class/1608885-1993-signal-red-sportline-m104-pic.html

Just cut and paste the address into your browser.
This shows a car owned by Mag58 on another site. The colour is magnificent! I hope seeing this car will give you even more assurance that you have picked the right shade of red.

Best wishes
Rod

Found this Mercedes colour chart in my file. Might be of help to others.

 

[Styria]

Hi Mr. Kozzy, you may well be aware that we do have a colour chart in another section of topklasse. Nevertheless, your find is a handy one for reference purposes. I did look at 877 Petrol Green/Blue, but the colour shown bore little resemblance to the actual colour that is on Gleaming Beauty. BTW, my comment is not meant to be a form of criticism - it is merely an observation. Regards Styria

 

[WiSeGuYY]

Hey ROD , thanks for the thread , i did miss it before and thanks to Mr. KOZZY and the GODFATHER i catch up with your input . i did chose the 568 and already the engine bay is done ( had to do it to put the new engine) but i can tell you it is stunning color.

Best regards and thanks again for helping
