999 Touch-up Paint - Red ?

  1. If this has been referenced before then please point me in the right direction!

    Struggling to find any cohearence between what is discussed on forums and what is actually available on places like eBay.

    It been pointed out that the 999 era of "Red" is actually "Ducati Anniversary Red" and differs from the shade of red used in the previous (916, 996) generation. Details seem to be:

    ANNIVERSARY RED
    (ROSSO RED)
    473.101

    All I can find on eBay (Europe - not UK) are references to completely different paint codes such as DUC/309 (Rosso GP Red), DUC/306 (Cherry Red), DUC0035 (Tangerine Red).

    I would source from the UK but can't transport paint on a flight - classified as flammable.

    Does anyone know which RED paint code is correct for an '03 999S ?

    Can't promise it's right, but this is what I have on codes for that year.
     
  3. That seems to match the 473.101 but I can't find a match for any of the DUC/xxx codes.

  4. No worries, if it's cheap enough order some but I found that paint code to match mine :upyeah:
     
  5. I find that Ford Radiant Red is an acceptable enough match in most cases.

    But as the Ducati Rosso appears to vary anyway you might be lucky.
     
  6. I had a panel touched up late last year - 1098S - paint code 473.101
