Show me your Kings Red / Royal Red / Königsrot Beetle L30A

[XXX-1.8T]

Keen to see how this Red colour looks on your Beetles!

As im looking to get my Audi painted in this colour as this was the original factory colour.

It seems the Red it is now has faded lighter than the factory Konigsrot so your pics would be appreciated.

Here's what it looks like now:

im hoping the Darker Red suits it

1970, Royal Red. Only shiny because it is wet. Usually "suede", but not on purpose, that's how I got it.

I've since painted the primered areas on the front and painted the inner wheels body color.

Kings Red or Royal Red looks a lot darker than photos posted online im guessing it changes in the sunlight?
