Club 80-90 Forums

My T 25 is coming on leaps and bounds now it is off road. Now I am trying to paint match, sorry no picture, but that may not help anyway, I would call it ox-blood, if it were a doctor martin boot! it is not the original colour, but seems a very common T25 colour? Halfords" Mercedes Jupiter Red looked a great match on the tin, but looked way too red when sprayed, as did V.W. Tornado red. Any thoughts appreciated as the van is looking a bit like a (quite pretty) impressionist painting where the rust used to be. As usual, thanks in advance chaps and chapesses.
P.S. to the moderators, a "like" and "thanks" button would be cool. otherwise love this site, as people do not rip it out of me because I obviously do not what I am talking about!
Thanks all.

Take your van to your local auto paint supplier.They should be able to match it for you.

What year is the van?
It's probably marsala red...but the year will say.

BTW

I don't want farcebook buttons on here thanks.

We won't be having any farcebook like buttons on here.

Have a chat with these chaps & they will make up the colour for you. If you remove & send your cat flap on the back of your van they'll be able to make up a match from the colour on that:

I only know about farcebook because my wife has "friends" on it. Only proposing a "thanks" or something, thanks for the marsala red tip though, I did say it was a re-spray. built '83 if it helps, cheers
