    Zinnoberrot the same as cinnabar red?

    Question. Is Zinnoberrot the same as cinnabar red?
    Zinnoberrot has paint code 138-3, while cinnabar has paint code 138.

            alright. Thanks giuys, I am ordering paint for my stepdad, and his color id said zinnoberrot, but paintscratch only listed cinnabar. After running it though a german translation thing, I realized they were the same color, but I wanted to be 100% sure.

              My car is also cinnabar/zinnoberot I ordered some paint from the local finishmasters and man, what a difference. After putting some new paint on, it looked like my car was about 6 different shades of red. This color fades fast. I'm going to have my whole car resprayed in the summer.

                I bet you it just needs a good detailing. After 15 years my red still matches new touch up paint.

                  you're damn lucky to have your paint matching up like that... proves the quality of german paint and the worth of good owners...
