She had a respray before we got her and it has come to the point where bodywork is a big issue. The problem is that we have no idea what the new colour is as it doesn't say anywhere. 
It would be much appreciated if anyone has an idea as to what the colour could be, she needs to be back on the road ASAP and with MOT pending, there is still work that needs to be done.

Also, don't ask about the bike on top, these are just some of the better pictures...

Had a word with the old man, apparently it isn't quite red enough to be flame red..
Something beginning with a M?

Reds usually fade more than any other colour when exposed to sun so the chances are that even if you do find the correct code it probably won't match if the paint has been on the car some time.
It would be better to drop the car into a paint supplier for an afternoon and get them to mix some up to the shade it is now.

I would have same flame red, looks the same colour as my Monte Carlo, but Modena and Monza are alternative if you think its a bit darker (and begins with M)
