My 2002 360 is painted "Orange Flame". I understand that it is the only one in the world painted this colour by Ferrari. It was a special order by a Sheik for Kuwait.

Does anyone know how I would go about ordering touch up paint? Most web sites don't list "Orange Flame"

Thanks

Is there a paint code sticker under the rear bootlid?

You should try a paint mixing company. That color may not be unique to Ferrari. The paint company like my local has a lazer device that it places onto a clean bit of paint work and it will identify the color and who makes it. They will mix you a touch up or an amount of paint.
I used this service only last week when I could not find a certain color for an expensive italian motorcycle that was painted in a so called one of colour. When the results came back, it was a..........bloody ssangyong . Perfect match.

Wow! That is a stunning color. Such a great alternative to the normal reds and blacks. I LOVE it.

But I have no idea where you will get the paint!

Paint code under the bonnet is unlikely to reveal any result - I would take the fuel flap down to a decent paint shop and have them mix it up from sample.

Can you post any other pictures of the car? The interior looks interesting.

Belfry - I think I recognise where your car is parked (Wilton etc) and that I might live nearby! Tried to write that in the least stalkerish sounding way possible, sorry.

I used Chris Stevens on Holloway Road (25 - 30 minute drive)a few years ago for matching a car paint and whilst not what they do specifically, the paint mixer chap did manager to sort it out perfectly. Give them a call beforehand perhaps

Really cool colour. Nice to see something different!

If you have the paint code, paints4u should manage. If not go to a good body shop. They should be able to make you up a pot.
