56 red interior?
I have been looking from red interior Touchup paint. Can't remember what the factory name is for the 56. I don't need the dye. I just need to Touchup a couple of places. Could some one refresh my memory on the factory name for the red, and where I could buy the Touchup paint.

Re: 56 red interior?
In 56 it was called Fiesta Red. Most Thunderbird suppliers have it but you would be best to bring the car to a paint supply place that can place a scanner on your car to match. If you can’t bring the car then remove the gas filler cover or glove box door and bring it in for matching. http://www.classictbird.com/mobile/Body ... 9001%2D6K/

Re: 56 red interior?
If I read this correctly you are looking for interior paint. Hill's Thunderbird shows paints & dyes on pages 146 and 147 in the on-line parts catalog. I think you might find what you a looking for there. You can also call there and talk with one of techs for guidance / hints.goldwinghg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 5:53 pm I have been looking from red interior Touchup paint.

Be aware that the paint you buy ready made from any supplier may not match exactly because of different formulas and ingredients. The best way to get a match was mentioned above - take a sample from the car and have it matched at a paint store. Some body shops mix their own paint and do the same thing.
