CharlieBravo Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi guys, hoping someone can point me in the right direction or already knows the answer to my following question; I have a Kenworth paint code (Red 58209 U) I want to find a suitable match for this in the model paint arena. This red is for my BJ and the Bear build and I want to get as close a match as possible. I can't seem to find that code at all in a search. It is the exact code stamped on the data plate of Paul Sagehorns original rig. thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I use paintref.com for cross referencing paint codes. This looks to be the shade of red that you are looking for: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?comm=58209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Paul told me when he painted the Bear rig he used a Ford Bright Red color, not sure of exact name or code though.. I’ll be using a red that I found at Walmart. I think it’s called Poppy Red.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s called Poppy Red.. from what i have researched it looks to be the same red used on the Chervorlet p/up trucks and also know as cardinal red Still can't seem to cross it over to a equivalent tamiya or vallejo but I'll keep searching!
