Looks more like Madeira red in that photo. Firethorn was used on the Commodore also, from memory wasn't the VH SS Commodore Firethorn Red?

I agree it looks like what our van would look like with a 2pk paint job in Madeira red....I put this pic as it is brighter when wet so looks more like Zsandy's van

It does look similar to your vans color .

Can anyone tell me what color this van is then . It's a 78 model.

It's near impossible to tell the real colour from a photo and also from cars that have been resprayed.
You might not be guaranteed a resprayed car is going to have the factory colour either.

You could look at http://mysandman.com.au/brochures.html
some of the guys here have supplied these original colour charts, it might help.
