    Can't tell from the photo...
    If it's a metalic color then it's Rosso Fiorano.
    If not Metalic, then it's Rosso Rubino

    So, I took those pictures myself, but don't know the exact colour. The car was driving by, so I couldn't see if it was metallic or not. But my guess: rosso barchetta.

    Anyway, as colours are not my strongest point: was Rosso Rubino available on the F355? I know that Ferrari changed names at a certain moment, and I thought that Rosso Rubino wasn't available back then.

    According to some Max Meyer / PPG information, these were the red colours in 1996: rosso corsa (300/12), rosso monza metallic (311/C), rosso barchetta (312). In 1999: rosso barchetta (320), rosso fiorano (321) and rosso corsa (322). Note that both rosso barchetta and rosso fiorano are mentioned as non-metallic colours (in that period!).

    The car on the pictures certainly isn't rosso corsa (normal red). I believe rosso monza is lighter then the one on the pictures. And wasn't rosso barchetta and rosso fiorano the same back then (just a successor with a different name)??? Any ideas???

    Rosso Barchetta from what i have reserched was only used on the SPIDERS for the 94/95 year. It was used on the gts untill 97/98. I have the only Rosso Barchetta spider on F.Chat so far, which is the non metalic paint of that period.
    Out of interest a guy posted a few days ago regarding his new 94 348 spider,which is painted in the rare Rosso Barchetta, the same time period as the first 355 spiders.
    MB: Looking at Texasmikes 360 shots, they look very simular to the top 355s.

    I forgot his name but, it belongs to a fellow FChatter. I know Runino is in his FChat name.
