Jim 2 Posted March 20, 2007 Hard to describe the difference between Tornado and Flash Red.. i've got a flash red car and i've seen a few tornado red's but I could not tell you which was brighter / deeper / glossier / redder! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 20, 2007 I like the look of g60 greenys which i believe is tornado Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Bit OT but has anyone every seen a Khaki pearl effect car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Tornado seems darker than Flash IMO, but then, not seen a Flash in the flesh. Wonder if Flash is less prone to fading? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dec 1 Posted March 20, 2007 When I got mine resprayed I was offered about 5 differernt shades of Tornado red from the colour charts...all the same paint code though. The variation between them was quite a lot though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted March 20, 2007 mine seems to match up quite well,i never got the roof or hatch painted as i was goin to go 2 tone this year,only time u can tell is @ night time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JIMMI 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Flash red is a lot more orange, the tornado is a more of a redder red if that makes sense, ive got both parked alongside eachother in my garage and there is a lot of difference, personally i think the tornado is a better red but you dont need to stick to rado colours, there are some really nice pearl reds out there, go to a paintshop and look @ the motorbike chips if you want some inspiration !!

Jim 2 Posted March 20, 2007 Flash fades just as well as Tornado i'm afraid to say! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
