Re: 1953 Paint Color

I do have the build sheet from the top of the glove box, and it has the same code 'R'.

From what I can tell from the inside of the fuel filler door, the color does look like 'The Scarlet Lady". As I removed trim and undercoat, the original paint is the 'orange-red',
not red-red or maroon-red (Matador Maroon). I've had the fuel door "shot" by the local DuPont supplier, so I can use that formula if needed.

Thanks for the help.
