Paint Color Code Location? How many reds?

It's just about time for paint. I have a '74 Spider with a red engine compartment. How do I find out what specific color it is for painting? How many different reds came stock on a '74 Spider?

Thanks for help with the rookie question,
Lance

Thanks for the link Eric. That helps a lot. I remember seeing that before, but I forgot where. It looks like it is either the Classico or Zagato.

Does anyone know the difference?

Does anyone know where the paint code is supposed to be located on the body of a '74 Spider?

Thanks,
Lance

Forward inside edge of the trunk lid.

Hi Lance,

I'm just about to paint my 74, which colour did you end up painting you car and do you have any pictures you can post?
