Paint code problem

Hi,
I need your help for a friend who bought a 88 350 IROC two months ago.
He wants to refresh the car with his original paint, bright red 81. The code on the RPO sticker is WA 8774. But it's hard to find the right paint cause the paint code seems to be too old
Can you tell me what is the equivalent code for Dupont, HoK and so on...

Re: Paint code problem

It took some searching, but I found this in Dupont's Historical Color Library, the color code is C8508. It's the same color as my 89 RS. Find the WA code on the left and click the link.
