I have heard that the two are interchangeable. The fact that paintscratch.com sells the same mix for both supports this theory.

I have L80K India Red and painted my front spoiler with paint from Paintscratch and it matched perfect. That is why I say Guards Red is India Red. Hell, mine can look 20 different shades depending on the light. I have never heard of Wachenrot.

Sure thing!
Those wheels are custom "drop forged" chrome plated 16 inchers

OK, here's a couple out front:

And how about a patriotic (Guards) red, white and blue for today?

[911Urge]

Here is my patriotic Guards red, white and blue. This was not a staged placement. All three of us arrived at the same time for a car show. The blue one is my fathers 68 912.

Thats funny....I did a painting of a Corvair a few years ago just like your red one....sorry, this is the only pic I have.

Terry, that is a great piece (even a Corsa!). You've got the GM Regal Red nailed "spot on"! That's the thing that confuses folks about mine since it is Guards red instead of the "correct" GM color. Mine has 9 coats of RM lacquer, shot back in 1984. I wish I had your talent, I can't even draw a good "stick man".
