Ferrari Mailing List: Glidden paint decal info

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

I have a red 1981 308 GTSi:

I received my new GLIDDEN paint decal from EUROSPARES.

The one that's on my car (under the engine cover of course) is so bad that I can't read anything except the numbers 590-5-190 at the bottom. I have no idea if it's an original decal. But it's a GLIDDEN too.

The new one has 2 rectangles that need to be fill up with information:

One says TIPO/TYPE and the other one No (as in  #). What am I supposed to print in the TYPE rectangle ? Is it the name of the color like ROSSO CORSA ?

For the No (#) I think I only have to print "300" right ?

 

When I get my touch-up bottle here in Montreal, the sticker on the can says ROSSO FUOCO (FIRE RED) and the number is 300.

I don't think my car is ROSSO FUOCO because I don't think they had that color in 1981, right?

When I bought the car 10 years ago, the number used to be 300-6.

 

What do you suggest I write on that decal before I put it on.

 

Thank you!
