Ruby Red or Orange?

[JPrusinows]

Hey Guys,

Help!? I have a 1964 Savoy in what I thought to be Ruby Red PP1 paint. However, every touch up paint I buy or mix, etc. as Ruby Red PP1 is too red too dark. My paint is more of an orange hue as opposed to Red. It is a beautiful color and I see it a

lot on 63 and 64 Dodges and Plymouth's. It is not the Ruby Red I see on the 65's which is certainly a much more Red color.

Any help is greatly appreciated as paint matching for chips, wheels, etc. is literally driving me nuts!

Please help!

Jeff

Not an expert, but FP1. Saw one at car show & think that was code on fender plate. Or FF1?

Bring the wheel to a body shop paint supplier. They can shoot it with their color gun and get a near perfect match.

Mike, Nice to hear from you buddy. Appreciate the reply. I already did that once and it turned out redder than the touch up paint i ordered (two different suppliers!). Once i figure this out ill keep everyone posted! Thanks again. I'm now thinking toreador red?

bring the car to a place that mixes paint and have them scan the car

Viper red? My '63 looks about the same shade, not the original color.
