    Default vn group a paint

    hi guys just wondering if anyone can tell me if groupa a red (duriff red) is a metalic colour. being as i just bought a bumper which is supposed to be duriff red but is not metalic. i thought this colour was metalic but it is just a solid. can anyone confirm this for me .its been so long since ive seen an original group a and i cant remember if it is or not. also is there a particular base colour when painting this colour ie black or silver ect to paint before the red goes on thanks wayne

    This is the colour options from 1988-1989, as you can see there is quite a few metallic colours.
