Are you really sure Neil used to use Diablo red ,Sam
The Peugeot colour doesn't look bright red enough on cars (306's) in the flesh to me
but having said that seeing photos of the ones Neil has done for people , they look just right :4_17_5:
Only doubting , because Glynnyboy says everybody's are too dark and not red enough ( he had the original finish on his, before repainting )
I know Ian Bodamus also has an original survivor , get him to hold a can of Diablo red ( Rouge Lucifer) next to his frame ;) to confirm
If I start doubting mine I'll have get it re-done something else like Vauxhall Viva vagina lips red :idiot2: :LolLolLolLol:
I've got some spare decals just incase ;) :D

The difficulty is that under different light the red always looks different. Its very hard to judge looking at photos then rattle can caps to see what looks the same, it may look bang on then as soon as you spray (if outside) its wrong. Take the frame indoors & it looks right :D
Heres another of mine taken in the shade outside & its looks nice & deep
Though here taken at the same time, in the same light, same camera it looks lighter
Edit to say this is a Mk1 chopper I sprayed in Diablo red, a tester to see if its right for an ET, its quite dark in certain light,
hunterdubber:
Yes , your so right Splodge
That 2nd pic is the colour/shade I'd say Glynny regards as being correct ,
but again it's a down to the light as it can also look alot darker too, like in the old adverts
Did you use Diablo red/Rouge Lucifer on the E.T then ? :daumenhoch:

No I didnt!
I did the Kuw about 3 years ago then found out rogue lucifer is the closest colour, I used a rattle can from Motorman
Im still wondering wether to strip & try rogue lucifer & so I tried the Chopper to see what its like, that was last year.
