Poppy red

[J Witt]

My phaeton is Cordoba tan and has a red pinstripe, which I think is called "Poppy Red". Looks like the same color red was used in the bumpers and the hubcaps.

I'd like to touch these up, does anyone have a suggestion that might be a match for this color?

Thanks,

John

I don't care what anybody says, Mustang Poppy red is orange.

In the world of paint, the line between red and orange is very fuzzy. The color of a red poppy is a bit more defined though.

How perfect do you want or need it to be? The red was bright, clearly red and not orange or maroon in any way, over time it would change a little. What I've used in the past, and with excellent results, "One Shot" striping and lettering enamel. There's a very bright red that most would find perfect for that use. Small amounts are available at just about any art supply store and you can pick the shade you need. Sometimes the minutia in such tasks seems to take on as much importance as rod bearing tolerance. It isn't, good luck...

See if you can find a fingernail polish at Walmart or Target.
