Red Paint codes

My datsun 240z was painted a non standard grey/ green, I would like to get it back to a stock colour, I was thinking 905 or monte carlo red. But my paint guy can't find the colour. MIPA the paint company he uses doesn't have any of a colour codes of the datsuns.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

#905 'Grand Prix Red:

GLASURIT 'Reihe 21'
*458.5 g M 83 Rotorange
*791.0 g M 45 Hellrot
*954.5 g M 6 Rotbraun
*1000.0 g M 25 Weiss

GLASURIT 'Reihe 20'
*100.0 g Sikkens 705-15
*482.0 g M 83 Rotorange
*769.0 g M 45 Hellrot
*954.0 g M 6 Rotbraun
*1000.0 g M 25 Weiss

They are old formulas, but a modern paint supplier might be able to cross-reference them.

Thanks very much. Just wondering, (excuse my ignorance)

Is that one colour or two?

One colour (#905 Grand Prix Red) but two different 'lines' of paint type.

'Reihe' is German (Glasurit is a German company) and it roughly translates in this context as 'Line'. So, '20 Line' and '21 Line' are just different types of Glasurit paint mixing systems from the past.

As I say, it's old data but it might - just might - help a good paint supplier as a cross-reference. Just bear in mind that modern paints, by default, look different than the paints of the past which contained all sorts of nasty compounds and chemicals.

Where are you based ? Most paint shops now have a laser scanner that captures the shade from painted shells. And I have experience of them lending this kit out...

I have a 905 coloured car ( factory paint)
