My R200 manual says the frame color is called McCulloch red. All the R200's I've seen that have the original paint look to be a metallic maroon/red color. Unfortunately the manual doesn't give a paint code or color name that would relate to any current paint product. The kart in these photos appears to have the original paint.

That isn't my kart. My R200 is waiting to be restored. I think that R200 was from TBO this year.
