I have always liked the red on the is300. I dont know the paint code, but its my favorite red.

[Vernal]

[Hooorahh!]

i think it is nice but might be a lil to bright thoe .. any other suggestions? color codes?

[Jimmy Up]

go with the 05 mustang red for a little darker, would look classy

[JRas]

think you may be going for a candy apple red

you should be able to find the owners of those cars and get there color codes

[Hooorahh!]

hmmm a lil lighter then candy apple red .. thank thoe ... candy apple red did cross my mind .. but just wasnt feeling it to much

[illvialuver]

the red on the rx8 is nice, tooo, i think you have a lot of options. so just put the colors in a hat and draw one and paint it, cause i think they will all look good.

[dued]

I always liked the red from the last generation mustang (the generation before these brand new ones).

I think the color is called "watermelon red." Its a very bright red, if anyone has a picture post it up.

PPG candy brandywine. I looked through tons of paint chip books, stopped looking once i found this color.

[Hooorahh!]

M3 Imola red,M3's always have crazy colors that change in the light setting theyre in.. this color can look really dark at times and when the sun is hitting it the color pops.. its a really deep red paint. I've always wanted to do this color or phoenix yellow.

i dont know it sounds a lil to wayy off how can it go from dark red/ burgandy to bright ass red??

[shifteds14]

the reason y it looks bright in some angles and dark in other is from what they call FLOP its the way the light hits the pearl in the paint and reflects the color back out .

if u pick a oem color from any manufacturer u can have ur paint guy look it up in a ppg color code book . if they cant find the code for god knows y . pm me a pick of the color and ill pm u back with the oem or ppg cc #

dupont candy apple red over cosmic dust silver, if you like I can post more pics that are larger. Got any questions pm me I do bodywork and paint I might be able to help.

[lflkajfj12123]

i've been told red is usually the most expensive color to paint

/random

[babowc]

to get a nice color with red, if you want metallic look, i've been told to spray silver base then red pearl.
then clear.

looks goood.

[TonKpilS14]

candy apple red is the shit

[EJ253]

yu shouldnt be picking paint colors by pictures. they never look the same irl
go around to some dealerships (BMW, mercedes, ferrari, ect) and look at the colors. see how they look in the sun/shade, find out what color the pearl is, ect

my .02

good luck findign the right paint

[burnsauto]

i've been told red is usually the most expensive color to paint

/random

you're correct. red pigment is the most expensive, because its the hardest to produce.


and paints will always look different in the sun. I'd recommend going to a body shop, and taking a look through their books, if you come across something you may be intrested it, take it outside...see how it looks.

[NiSmOKnIghTsRBS14]

whats up gus............hehehe well what bout this color???? jk jk hope u find what u lookin for im feelin the 05 ram red, it looks clean.

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l29/oneruffryder42/11111110-1.jpg

[Hooorahh!]

that dodge ram red looks :ghey:

M3 is better

those 240's you posted at the bottom of your first post were the best IMO

edit: find those owners and get there color codes

[Tops*]

Maroon.

Any shade or tint.

Classy, like red wine.

Might be a lil' too dark for what you're looking for though.


That zenki looked really nice.

[morbid]

This is my favorite shade of red.

http://xlibs.xl.funpic.de/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/mitsubishi_evo.jpg

I love it.

[morbid]

But seriously... you should paint it yellow.

[SC_S13]

well if youre going with either dodge ram red or imola red, it'll be eassy to see it in person, seeing as dodge AND bmw have 63248763784 dealerships in each state...
but candy apple red looks realllllly good in person, just add a good flake addition, i like silver dust too

[Nismoknightska-t]

gus..

come on.. it has to be bright red!!

we havnt chased the hoes for 2 weeks now.. we need 1 of our cars back asap:D

[Hooorahh!]

This is my favorite shade of red.

http://xlibs.xl.funpic.de/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/mitsubishi_evo.jpg

if it was done at a quality shop it wouldnt do that, and if it did they would fix it.
