Is this oxide red? is is the same as "brick red"? From the picture, these look more red (guava) tone than orange and I like it.

Sweet, Thank You! I was going to ask, if you still have the car. If it still looks good in 10 years, that answer the question. I have 66 Bahama Blue, pretty good shape and restoring in the next few months. I saw another post that had a combination of that bue with with Pigalle red, but in your picture that Guava tone got me thinking.

Thank you again.
