Does anyone know if there is a paint code for Saronni Red?

Or a good match from available touch up sticks?

Colnago don’t release any RAL codes or similar for their colours so the only way to get a match is from a paint shop with a spectrophotometer.

There used to be a RAL colour called Stop Light Metallic that was apparently a good match but it doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

What model Colnago is it for? Master, Super, Mexico?

Big variation in RAL from one company to another though, can be as much as 10% from one to another, getting a match is your best bet

There is a nice little thread with pics here:

I expect Argos would be able to pin down something for you.
I reckon a Honda Candy Red from the 70`s would be close, maybe Antares red.
Good luck with it!
