Did the puma come in 2 different shades of red or was it just 1?
mines been described as radiant but it looks like colorado in the metal.
I need to find out because if I buy a paint stick thingy an it's the wrong shade, i'm really in the sh*t!

The Puma did come in two colours, I’m not sure of the cut off date, but 2001 rings bells. Mines a 2000 and is Radiant Red, Colorado Red was the later colour.

Nothing to do with your question but I prefer Radiant Red, Colorado was a little too dark for my liking.

Thanks guys.
it's the same shade as yours Zip It so I presume it's radiant red.
bit gutted that it's the only colour in the whole range that isn't metallic but after whats happened thats probably a good thing an besides the flat red paint really makes the car stand out, makes it look good.

I think there's a non-metallic black in the range as well?

Good luck with the painting - you're right, a metallic colour would be more difficult to touch up.

I really don't think Radiant Red needs to be metallic, it's bright enough as it is cool.gif My CTR is also a solid red, and that's not far off the Puma's colour.

As far as I'm aware, for the UK the only solid colour was Red, and was also a the only colour that was a non cost option. It might be the cheapest but it is the best laugh.gif

I've had both and you can't tell the difference to be honest.
This pic is my sisters W reg radiant alongside my 51 reg Colorado and apart from the props and spokes you couldn't tell them apart.
Red is red and is always the best colour no matter what shade it is wink.gif

There really isn't much, if any, difference is there.
Mines a 1998 R reg car an im glad it has the prop wheels as the usual spokes make it look less sporty I think
Still looks good though!
