This is my 1975 500R. Which of the 3 Fiat red colours do you think it is? I need to get some touch up paint.

I'd try a modern repair/paintshop and get them to colourmatch it for you; solid colours are fairly easy to match these days. If it's previously been restored then there is no guarantee the colour is the same as specified on the build plate, and reds are prone to fading.

I think it is 168 coral red. It is for chips and scratches in the engine bay, boot and other places. An exact match is not vital. Your point about colour matching is good though. I hadn't thought about that.

I've found a shop that will colour match paint, so I took in the rear grille panel. They say it has been painted with 285/A Rosso Schumacher, which is a Fiat Stilo colour. I now have a touch up pen and an aerosol, so I'll try those out later.
