CSX2374 was a simi metallic color. I remember that well because Stevie and I talked about the metallic finish several times saying it was the only AC we knew of that had a metallic finish. It was like a fine goldish metallic hue within the paint. Sorry to hear it is not the same color as original, but every owner has their own preference. CSX3116, the bad boy of the group was originally a white street version and now looks like a SC with blue with white stripes. In some ways AC's are somewhat like Mustangs in that they are often modified by their owners. A distinction the Mustang holds now for being the most highly owner/modified mass productions car.

Okay, according to paintref.com, Royal Maroon was the only maroon Ford made in the 64-65 period. It was originally a Lincoln color. So, if Ford controlled the type of paint used, its Royal Maroon. If Shelby or AC controlled the choice of paint, it could have been Royal Maroon or it could have been Jaguar's Imperial Maroon. When I find out who controlled the choice, that will pick the paint. One or the other. Or, not, if something or somebody comes up with the right color and its not one of those.

Sorry for all this discussion about what maroon paint to use, but once I realized that my car had to be painted the same color as the one I saw and dreamt about for so many years, I became fixated on having the "right" color.
