 Don when I repainted my Alpine I used a very durable two pack prep
callled Glasurit. They have all the Rootes colours in their catalogue
(Including Carnival Red) and Paint numbers to match. So I just said I
wanted Signal Red which is Rootes number 122. Result was awesome and
also a perfect match with the original paint colour in unpainted areas
eg under the bonnet catch plate. The other advantage is that glauserit
is so good that when I got a stone dent on the bonnet I was able to
push it out without needing to repaint.
