Pimento red

[Ian Faulds]

Hi all. My gt6 is originally meant to be pimento it's a 72. I've completed the tub welding today and while it's on the rotisserie iam gonna stone chip the underside and paint new floor pans inside. Anyone know a brush paint near pimento colour? That I could use for this.

i used a  homebase  cheap gloss paint to do the insides it lasted years in boot under carpets etc.

but i needed a light green /cactus 

easy to brush no thinners , easy clean ,

just an idea

Pimento is a more... I suppose peppery red... than Signal, but Japlac used to have an exact match for Signal in their brush-on paint, now marketed as International Japlac. Possibly Jenolite do too, these days - their Re-Paint is allegedly Rosso Red? It may be close enough for you to get away with it on undercarpet panels.

thanks chaps, ive sent an email to advanced paints, they list a triumph pimento red and ive asked if they can do a brushable, I don't have spray equipment but for the inside brush will do. the tub on this car must be from another as base paint is magenta, its now a horrible silver, but the original body should be pimento, chasis and engine numbers are original but I reckon its been re bodied at some time.
