Ken Miles Ford GT 40 Le Mans bonnet livery

Are  the  2 flame like paint jobs  on the bonnet a kind of signal red  model master, shine red from  Mr Color ?  Its obviously not a classic red . The purpose was most probably to facilitate  sighting .

I think those flame looking marks were for ease of identification. Most of  the Fords that year had some unique markings. I also think the col,or of those marks was flourecent red on Ken Mile's car.

Looks like flourescent red to me, too. Could just be the photo though.

Per one of my GT40 books it was Day-glo paint and not a Ford color.
