    Nissan and red paints

    Hi guys I've been doing a lot of research around red colours for my s13 as it's going to get resprayed in red after all the body work is sorted out. And the codes are confusing me. I quite like the AR2 paint code but here is where it gets confusing. On a s15 AR2 is labelled flame red but I've also seen it called signal red and then active red also. And then to confuse even more I've also seen on the s14 AJ4 paint code is labelled flame red so anyone good with nissan paints that can help me?



    I've basically taken a keen eye to this s13 and I can't find anywhere that states the colour so if anybody knows what colour it is that would be amazing as I might be looking at the wrong colour from the s15 but I think it's quite close

    Thanks mike

    I can check out both those colour codes at work on Monday if you like? Most colours have 2+ names they go by, I'd always trust the colour code.

    That would be great mate. So in general if a car is painted in a paint code even between two different chassis the paint will be the same? (From factory) an example AJ4 is on the s14 and on the 300zx I believe. But on one car it's called ultra red and on the other it's called flame red *confused face*

    AR2 on our system is called Carmine Red.
    AJ4 is called Ultra Red.
    AR2 is a slightly bluer red whereas AJ4 is slightly yellow.

    Trust the code over the name.

    It's difficult to judge the colour without having a test panel and seeing it with the naked eye. I personally like the AR2 one over the other.

    Just as a personal opinion as you work with paints. (Question is open to anybody aswell) would you say the red s13 I posted in the picture is the s15 AR2 red? To me to looks more yellow as you said. It doesn't help I'm slightly color blind lol

    It's almost impossible to tell from a picture mate, it could be filtered or altered slightly or it could be effected by the lighting

    If you want to email the company asking what colour it is they may know.

    I had a look at rosso scuderia and found one guy who resprayed his s15 in it and it is a good match I find red so hard to match especially in pictures where there is different light etc
