Is the colour combo ruby red/pearl white?

Hey Wally, thanks for putting the pics up mate - appreciate it. If you take more, keep sticking them up here.
The colour is sealing wax red/beige grey. I know the photos make it look bright red and gloss white, but it needs to be seen in person.
Saw it a few weeks back and was amazed yet again as to how open these 23's are. Its going to be a blast driving it around.

Top colour is Beige Grey - to be honest, the truest reflection of that colour is that of the floor inside, the bottom is Sealing Wax red.

Thanks Wal as usual..

no probs & what mick said the floor is the best idea of the colour, the camera never shows what you see in person.

How boring, there isn't any runs or dust stuck in the paint ...
Its like perfectly flat and shinny

Hows the open top bullet going mate? Got that thing sorted yet?
You can always give it to me to look after for you

Hey Damo - shit, its obviously been a while since we spoke. The bullet uis gooooonne. Sold it to a guy in Syd.
Will have to catch up in downtown 4171 for some brekky or a drink with the other locals ??

damn I was hoping we could breed them, their offspring would have been awesome

catch up sounds like a plan ... we should get the cars there too.
I haven't seen the ute finished yet either

Which make of paint are you using for the SWR? How did you match it or was it formula mixed? Looking very nice
