Carnival Red paint help please

[Charlie504]

Hi, my Elite is Carnival Red (IL05), does anyone know if this is the same as Ford Carnival Red?  I'm assuming it isn't...

There's a few marks under the bonnet of my car I'd like to paint, if it turns out it's the same colour I can just nip to Halfords and buy a can.  

Otherwise does anyone know where I can buy an aerosol of the Lotus colour online that will ship to Scotland?

Thanks

Cross Reference

whilst these are the Elan part numbers.....I believe they were also used on Later models.....

my info just shows the paint was used until the end of production of the Elan
