Searching for cheap paint, colour code would be handy - anyone know what it is for Volvo "Bright Red"?
(love the simplicity of the naming)

Re: Paint colour code for bright red???
bright red is 231
but depending on the year there are quite a few shades that match it but are only a slight tint off, you can check the code at the aluminium type plate that's at the engine bay inbetween the headlights. are you doing a full body respray? otherwise i'd reccomend to get a custom spraycan/tin made as these red's aren't clearcoated for protection and are notoriously for fading / losing color intensity

I'm just patching, I'm good with a spray can and I'm good with Red for some reason..
If I find some cheap factory paint I can get it looking something like for the time being, the main thing is cheapness.
