 Re: colour query
Ford Rio brown will be near enough for that job.

 Re: colour query
Black or brown, depending on the age/factory in which the car was built I think.

 Re: colour query
its a perennial problem it never seems to get listed i had a small pot of rustoleum which was almost there
Ford Rio brown is too dead it really is a burgundy "Rouge Opera" was the closest when a Scottish Dyane owner got it scanned.
