It is called hot magenta and is supposedly a bitch to paint. It was created as a show colour for a concept car but after working with the paint company to make it consistent for production it is now on the fiesta. It is a translucent colour over a coloured base and so you have to get the colour an even thickness to get a consistent shade. If you are repairing it, you have to get the colour coat the same thickness as the surrounding paint to get the same shade. Don't botch it and spray over the local area to touch up.

^ oh

I'm sure I knew her when I was a lad. Bet that stuff isn't cheap.

Be careful with those type of colours, VERY HARD TO MATCH. The MRS. wanted a wing on the back of her new Mazde 3, pearl white, asked the body shop what the chances were of matching the colour?

His reply NOT A CHANCE IN HELL. He had just finished a similar car with slight body damage to one door, they painted the door, came back in the morning, took one look and had to paint the whole car to get it right.
