Greetings all, I am rebuilding an old '72 F100 and would like to paint it in the same livery (orangee-red) as the legendary XY GT HO. Can anyone tell me what the paint spec is please?

Is this what your after ?

XYGT Falcon colour range was as follows.
" H " - Track Red
" S " - Electric Blue
" X " - Monza Green
" 9 " - Nugget Gold
" E " - Quick Silver
" T " - True Blue
" U " - Ultra White
" 6 " - Vermillion Fire
" I " - Jewel Green
" O " - Yellow Ochre
" 2 " - Bronze Wine
" Z " - Wild Violet
" Q " - Yellow Glow
but there were other XYGT's with colours like these;
" F " = Vintage Burgundy
" B " = Black
" D " = Raw Orange
" C " = Bold Blue
" F 289 " = Surfer Orange
" L " = Limelight Metallic
" EZ 099 " = Shell Yellow
" 5 " = Tealglow
" SPEC " = Whatever You Like
Trim colours for XYGT's were " B " for Black, " " S " for Light Saddle and " W " for White. Any of these codes followed by a " 2 " meant that they came with a cloth insert option.

Thanks guys, a bloke down the street has a GT HO that is really something. The colour of his car must be the track red 'H' as it is not the colour in the excellent examples provided above. Hopefully I will be able to make contact with him in the near future and get the code from his data plate. I can then compare them to the codes above. Thanks heaps, Greg

Vermillion Fire : the colour you are after, looks different in different lights. Best colour

I believe Track Red is the colour of the other partially obscured XY GT in Falcon Coupe's first pic.
