I will eventually be repainting my Spider and would like to find out
which red to use. A P.O. changed the color from its original black
to an orange-red that looks funny next to my GTV6 (it's a pretty bad
paint job too, but that's another issue). It doesn't look quite
right on the car, so I'm assuming that it's not the right red.
For my year I found the following colors listed at
http://hem.passagen.se/veloce/paint2.htm.
530 Alfa rosso Spider '82-90 72528
547 Rosso Cabernet Spider '87-89 73029 note
552 Rosso Bordeaux '87 73032 note
Do they all apply?
If someone with a red 87 Spider Quad would check the plate under
their trunk lid and let me know what it says, I'd appreciate it!
Another thing I find mildly irritating is that all of the car was
painted red. The areas that are supposed to be black have been
painted over: both bumpers, the rear spoiler and the trim around both
side-view mirrors. Is it possible to safely remove the paint from
these items or are they a lost cause?
And finally, the badge on the trunk is not centered. It's stuck on a
good inch or two to the right. Someone please tell me this is
because of the lousy paint job and not a normal thing!
