I've owned my Td4 for about four years now and have never known what the name of the "red" paint is that it's sprayed with. I've got a few little stonechips I need to sort out this year and need to get a touch-up stick, but I haven't got a clue what colour I'm looking for

Long shot, I know, but has anyone got any idea what kind of red it might be, going by the attached photo? It's a 51 plate, early 2002 model.

If you look on the door sil of the drivers door, there may be a small White sticker on there. If there is the paint code is normally the bottom code in the list.

Meant to say, yes, it is metallic (micatallic?), so that could be it.

Thanks for that. I'll see how that one compares when I'm next near a paint stick vendor.
