Thanks I used Nasson 2013 Ford red candy. I have an 82 Saronni Red Superissimo with poor but original paint. Side by side the original is really close but just a little lighter and brighter from the under color. The red/purple balance was spot on. This color is a 2 part. I think a 3 part would have to be used to get it perfect. I also think to get a perfect match to Saronni Red (which I'm sure changed some over the years) you would have take your best educated guess on a color and still have an original example to look at side by side. I found this color by putting my bike against newer autos and judging how close it was.
