I recently purchased my Speedster and need to repaint the hood. The color appears to be correct Porsche 1957 vintage red. What is the correct name of red to ask for and what model years is this color applicable to?

Ron,
Eric Gardner posted a reply on the 'Silver Metallic Exterior with ??? interior' that answers your question. He shows a table with colour schemes exterior / interior and colour codes for exterior. I don't know if the table is correct regarding the red but I'm sure it's correct regarding the silver, since this is the colour of my replica and I had done previous research and the codes match. The table indicates the red available between 57-59 was Ruby Red with the following colour codes: Porsche #5702, Reutter #702. If you go to the Glasurit site and enter POR #5702, you will find the colour mix you need to do with Glasurit paint to get the right Ruby Red.
I did this with the silver and the colour looks superb.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
