    What red is this?

    My eyes say briliantrot, but the fact that i have a shit monitor and for all i know i could be color blind says its henna, and i know it's not cinna. I need some reassurence before it's mine. And yes, that horrid tip is coming off!

    aint she clean? :)

        How do you know its not Cinna? It is an '89 and as far as I know Brillantrot didn't start until '90.

            Rear valance atleast has been re-shot, does the rest of the car have unoriginal paint?

                *slaps head* UHG! Did anyone read the post? I said "Before it's mine" !!! No it's not cinna, cinna is much darker. I am about to go pick it up in santa clara in a day or two, so i guess i will just check myself.

                No, just the valance. From what i understand the original owner backed up over a tall curb, damaging the valance and original muffler. That is was explains the muffler shop muffler, and all red rear valance. The rest of the car is original paint, and it looks damn clean to me.

                        Looks to me a 90+, so it's likely Brilliantrot.

                        Brilliantrot vs. Zinnoberrot:



                        Good display of colour difference:

                          I've got an '89 Brillantrot 325i, so it must have started in '89 or earlier.

                          That car looks to be brillantrot. I'm 95% sure of it, because it looks identical to my auto car.
