Difference in Paint Colour GTR R33

[cul8tr]

My R33 is cherry red and the paint in the engine bay is a different shade to that on the car, in the boot area (spare wheel) it's the same colour as under the bonnet . Everywhere else it's the same colour as the exterior . Does this mean it's been re-painted ?? thanks

No you will find that it only has basecoat in engine bay and under bonnet .

Are you sure its cherry red ? I didnt think gtrs came in cherry red , they are different red to gtsts .

All i know is that it's a darker red than a fire engine truck , i am relieved to hear it has not been completely re-painted - thanks

It should be metalic burgangy ( paint code 5 ) but under the bonnet and iside the boot base coat only , not metalic .

Thats not to say that it hasn't been pained before though , i can't tell without seen the car .
