FIAT ROSSO RED was created by Jon Griffiths
My X19 is finally seeing a coat of paint after nearly 3 years in the body shop, My friend called me today to say he had painted the Bay,Bonnet and boot areas with the 1 litre of paint i supplied him which should be Fiat Rosso Red.
He was concerned it was too orange and expected it to be more like a Ferrari red??
He is purchasing more of the Ral color i have given him in 2 pack tomorrow, and we are going to have a look at the sample chips at the suppliers to see if whats been put on the car is the correct color.
I have hopefully attached a picture of the front boot area with the paint used,does this look correct
Thanks
Jon

Have a look at this link, it should give you the right colour for your year of car, or any other you fancy. I used this and got an exact match. However I'm told two pack may come out slightly different to the old cellulose that would have originally been applied

Hi Thanks for the link to the website color chart, the car was painted in the fiat 171 Rosso red as it was correct for the year 1983,he sprayed the back end of it yesterday in the 2 pack to make sure it looked OK and sure enough it does 
Hopefully by the weekend the rolling shell should be completed and polished ready for collection on Monday

my X1/9 (restoration project) is Rosso Red but it's metallic. I think there might be two Rosso Red. A flat colour and a metallic version.
