Does anyone kow the name of the red that is on the Tickford rocker cover and the XR6 logo?
Its for my brake calipers and maybe a few other bits and pieces so I want to keep it all the same.

Cheers

Popular consensus is that its venom red mate but a few people have said that it is actually slightly different.

Im sure venom red will do if its only for the brakes. You wouldnt be able to tell the difference. Maybe if you were painting engine bits, it might be a different story...

This special engine which still only required low octane 91 RON ULP featured a maroon engine camshaft cover with embossed Tickford wings.

But still it doesn't really look maroon, does it?

Its is Maroon.
the ED colour is a bit darker than the EF/L.
My brakes are done in Le Mans Red.

I think that Ford Engine Red is the colour that they used in the XA,XB,XC Tappet covers. I've seen a fair few Clevelands with red ones. The colour looks orangish I reckon.
I don't think it is the Tickford colour anyway.

I have a Venom XR6 and I don't think the colour on the rocker cover is Venom...its a darker colour as some others have suggested...
