    Hello All,

    Was Rosso Cordoba ever supplied in a non metallic color? If so, does anyone know the color code? I've done the search, but have come up empty handed.

    Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    106-R-136, 20-R-136, 106-R-7, 106-E-7 are likely candidates; there may be others. I don't recall that Rosso Cordoba was/is a metallic color. I've not seen it (that's not saying much :)) in many moons of Ferrari gazing and there's no "metallizzato" in the title. At any rate, here are some references, the first of which contains the definitive list.

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/sho...ordeaux+salchi I was Search-ing for "Rosso Bordeaux Salchi" and one of the results turned out to be the mother lode, from the Ferrari owners site; posted by '8valve.'

    Coop,

    Thanks for the help. Any chance of getting a modern day color code?

    Thanks,

    'just may be able to do that for ya. I won't have access to that info 'til tomorrow, though. I'll let you know before noon; hopefully, we'll have a good code for Glasurit or PPG.

    Just when I say that I haven't seen Rosso Cordoba Metallizzato, I found a reference to it it right here:
    http://www.jb330gt.com/Colors.htm
    It's referred to there as "Rosso Cordoba Metallic (Cordoba Metallic Red)" and is shown on a 308 GTB (below).
    Then, it gets better here:
    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=193769&page=7 (post #130) with a Rosso Cordoba Dino parked next to a Rosso Cordoba Metalizzatto Dino!
    And, according to the Eurospares site, 106-R-7 WAS the metallic version of R. Cordoba.
    Mmmmm, Mmmmm Good. 'munching on my own words right now :(.

    Luckily for me, you are not looking for the metallizzato version, so I'll divert your attention by getting back to the task at hand: Modern code for vintage paint. I'll hopefully have an answer in the AM.

    IIRC there were a grand total of 6 308's made in that color. A member here owns one of them that was in Forza a few years ago.

    I have an original Scaglietti 32 color paint wheel. Rosso CordobaMetallizato is included. There isn't a non-metallic Rosso Cordoba, but there is "Rosso" 169-R-83 (Acrrilure)/20-R-187 (Eurolac)

    It is almost identical in the paint tone but without mettalic flakes.

    Hi,

    I apologize to resurrect such an old thread, but I stumbled upon this during a search! This is my Rosso Cordoba GTB, #20575 hanging out somewhere on the New England shore. It is a very fine (size-wise) metallic.
