The paint code states 168/F, but when requesting this paint code from several paint suppliers, they have all provided paint that is considerably darker than the LE Red. I believe the LE red is a lighter shade of red to other Coupes(?)

Therefore anybody know what paint code is required for a red LE? Or who can supply the correct colour from experience?

N.B. This is not a case of the paint fading as I have seen red LEs next to standard red Coupes and there is an obvious difference in shade of red between them.

Thanks.

Paint codes 168/A and 168/F have two types.. darker (with raspberry tint) and lighter (hot red).

I thought it was the standard Speed Red?

from the Coupe Club Buyers Guide

LE 98-99
Black/Red leather Recaros

168 – Rosso Corsa - Speed Red
601 – Nero met - Black metallic
606 – Grigio Vinci met - Vinci Grey metallic
635 – Grigio Crono met - Crono Grey metallic
647 – Grigio Steel met - Steel Grey metallic

Note:
168 available with 2 suffix codes.
168/A – Rosso Corsa
168/F – Rosso Speed

Thanks for the replies.

I therefore can only assume that when I ask for 168/F from suppliers they either tell me they only have 168 listed and/or don't have 168/F listed and send me 168(A) which is too dark.

168/F is the lighter shade? That is what is on my paint code label.

Some suppliers suggest they have 168F, but then describe it as Rosso Corsa which is wrong.

e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/fiat-168f-red-corsa-aerosol-spray-paint-400ml-direct-shine-gloss/680377781

Whilst other list Rosso Speed as 168B !!

Complete minefield and I've yet to find a supplier who can supply the correct colour.


Soooo, anybody actually ordered 168/F from anybody and it actually matched their Red LE? If so, please let me know who.

Thanks.

168/A has two types.. darker and lighter and 168/F has two types darker and lighter, so..

168/A darker = 168/F darker
168/A lighter = 168/F lighter

..so for colour code 168 I have to send tint to my bodyshop

Can somebody update the coupe buyers guide. Black LE's are not metallic!

FWIW - I required :

168F Variant (D) or Autocolor Brand Code JWA7B.

(Might be different for others of course).

I was just thinking the same!

Black LE Paint Code is simply Nero 601
