    Do you still have that "Calais International" written on the rear doors? If so, i reckon you should ditch it.

    nah theyre white or grey. grey ones look mint though. white ones are a bit weird cause the black/chrome strip doesnt blend in as well.
    can we delete hozys post and just rename this to the calais international thread lol

    lol my has a few pins in the back section too, but this car was rooted for what it was. filthy engine, some interior damage, panel damage, ss skirts were broken, crap paint, rust hole below rear window. was considering buying it to restore it as a project car, but meh.

    My cars paint code is :2F028. I think the car you posted just has more darker red put into the mix when it was sprayed.

    Off the top of my head these colours make Phoenix Red: Red, Black and Silver.

    This is how my car looks. Not as dark as your photos, but my paint is fading.

    For someone who worked at a panel shop you sure don't know much........
    2F028 - Holden paint code for Phoenix Red
    4F010 - Holden paint code for Phoenix Red for the bumper bars
    As for the third one, that doesn't match any records I have from GMH, not match a standard paint code layout.

    Mine is original phoenix red with three layer holographic flake (looks like chameleon flakes) clear. Looks nice, but i haven't seen another one like it in my area so i'm cheering. But if you wanted to keep the phoenix red as a base to put a nice purple pearl or something it would look really nice, trust me. Just my 2c.
