We all know that a candy apple red paint job is usually sprayed over a silver, gold (even pink) base. The more coats, the darker the color will get. This can make it close to impossible to match the paint. So chipped candy apple red bumper? In order to get a perfect match you will have to, in most cases, repaint the car.

I love candy apple red but in no way want to have to deal with that mess^^

A lot of the newer car manufacturers out there are coming up with gorgeous reds. Are there any out there you would consider to be close to a candy apple red?

Example:

Dodge Inferno Red Pearl
