Anybody got a Regis Red Truck?

Post by 72stepside »

I was hoping someone might have a picture of a truck that they know is the factory color Regis Red. I've looked at and printed several different 'official' paint chip sheets and they all are different colors due to scanning, printing, etc...

Regis red looks very maroon to me. I just want to be sure how it would look before I commit. I'm gonna go to the Sherwin Williams store later and look through their chip books as well, but would sure like to see it on a truck.

I'm thinking of going Regis Red on the bottom half of my F250 and Wimbledon White on the top half and in the cab.

I've played with GIMP2 to get some colors on the truck to get an idea but can't quite get the shading exact... cause who knows what exact is?!?!?

I think that white is too bright and the red too red, hence the need for one of YOUR pictures!

Any help would be appreciated.

The only reference here to Regis Red is 1971 but it gives some equivalents.

Rangoon red is a maroon I've painted a few mustangs that color and Also painted one wimbledon white which is sort of a cool off white.
