Fiesta Red some help perhaps........
Posted: 10 Jun 2012, 17:15It's been a good twenty minutes since the subject of Fiesta Red was bought up so I thought I'd enlighten folks with this.
I seem to remember someone asking if there was a formulation for Fiesta Red available for the purpose of repairing / restoring
or respraying a guitar. Naturally it would need to be THE Fiesta Red.
Since pretty much everyone is agreed that the original Fiesta Red went out with the idea that marriage should come before children,
I hope this information will help folks looking for this colour.
I remembered a colour being formulated for the Ford Motor Company around 2007. This colour has been available for a while now under the
name of Sunrise Red.
Whilst I'll be the first to say that photographs are not a reliable aid to colour matching, at least this will give you an idea of how close
Sunrise is to the version of Fiesta Red on my Stratocaster. Indeed, it's "pinker" hue might be more pleasing to some.
Any Decent sized Ford dealer or reasonable automotive paint stockist should be able to mix this colour for you should you require. Indeed they should have
a colour chip to give you an idea of the colour. ( Colour chips are only a guide ).
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers, Alan.
