Has anyone out there recently painted their 31 Boulevard Maroon? If so, what was the color that was used? And who made it? My body guy cannot get the local paint shops to find the 1968 Fiat color that is in Bills 31 site. Any help would be great. Thanks

If you give me a day, I will look up the paint mix that I used (which appeared to be an EXACT match) and I'll send it to you. I think that I still have the label.
