1980 Red Paint?

[celeryman22]

Guys, could you post a picture of you 1980 red corvettes. I'm looking at changing the color of my vette to red. I really like the picture in the Ecklers cataloge and here on the wedsite http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?dept%5Fid=1359&pf%5Fid=10297&mscssid=30PG9UQXBTKD9N3KBE9CURRXT9UL1QQ9
What is the paint code for this? I want to pick a manufacture ie. PPG so I can start striiping paint and primming with the appropriate primer/sealer.

Thanks
Mike

Man I hope my 81 turns out that good. It is in the shop being painted right now. Going with the original red that is on it, Not sure of the paint code, or if it is the same as 80. I just hope it is smooth and shiny!

I've also got a "few" coats of Zaino on it!

where did you get the side pipes? would love to put a set on my 1980, but have not seen where they sell them?

They're the Hooker Headers, they were on the car when I bought them.
