The 1968 colour information is from the sales material and www.duettoinfo.com While we are at it, the Montecatini was the name of the comapny that manufactured the paint, it is also a lovely town in Tuscany, Italy.
Here you may find the red colour codes used by Alfa Romeo OEM. Rosso is my favourite colour. Roundt-tails also came in white, green, blue, black, silver etc. I have focused on the red colour codes. The code numbers are easy to find, since they are the same used by PPG, DuPont etc. paint shops. Here is a company you may try too: touchuppaintonline
The red colour is the classic Alfa Romeo racing standard. Italian racing cars were always red. Today only (?) Ferrari has the red colour in F1 of the Italian racing teams. It is quite odd to see that Alfa Romeo changed the tone from bright red, close to orange, to the burgundy/blue tone through the years.
You will find the colour code on a small plate under the boot lid to the right. If you respray, any local paint shop will be able to mix the red colour you like if you tell him the OEM #.
