[Healeys] Carmine Red vs Reno red

[Derek Job]

Did this subject already come up on the British Car Forum? Sounds familiar.

Obviously its a personal choice and only you can decide however you have
asked for comments. Red over white is not a factory colour scheme. That
includes any red. Plus, Carmine red was never used on 100-Sixes. Is your
car still in bare metal? If so I would consider  black with red coves which
would go well with you dark red interior and is a factory colour scheme for
that model.
