Italian spiders are always Rosso, eh?

Well, not all of them but . . .
The complete charts sorted by
code and by
name.
From the sales material and Cardisks. Last update 2001 March 12.
Here you may find the red colour codes used by
Alfa Romeo OEM. Rosso is my favourite colour. Roundt-tails also came
in white, green, blue, black, silver etc. I have focused on the red
colour codes. The code numbers are easy to find, since they are the
same used by PPG, DuPont etc. paint shops.
The red colour is the classic Alfa Romeo racing
standard. Italian racing cars were always red. Today only (?)
Ferrari has the red colour in F1 of the Italian racing teams. It is
rather odd to see that Alfa Romeo changed the tone from bright red,
close to orange, to the burgundy / blue tone through the years. You
will find the colour code on a small plate under the boot lid to the
right. If you respray, any local paint shop will be able to mix the
red colour you like if you tell him the OEM #.
The Duetto came in the following colors originally:
- Pininfarina White or Bianco Pininfarina
- Ivory or Avorio
- Italia Red or Rosso Italia, the Rosso Montecattini
- Mid-Blue or Bleu Medio

The complete charts sorted by code
and by name. I have spent
lots of time doing this chart, so please ask me first before you
copy and use it. Wille R.
