The picture's too dark to say for certain much more than that it's red and shiny.

You're going to have to help me out here.

I had to find the thread already by looking at your posts, but it's a big thread. Find the post for me and link it or tell us the owner.

I'd be willing to do some of the searching for you, but I'm not doing it all.

I would be willing to bet that it's Milano Red with one hell of a buff and wax job.

My Milano red looks that shiny if I get it REALLY clean, but tat seem just a tad darker to me. It could just be the lighting though.

It's especially evident in the second photo that this is Milano Red. The first pics looks like Milano Red too, just in low light.

Milano Red has a dark red base paint and then a lighter tinted red clearcoat over that. This gives it the ability to shift color, though it might normally seem slight. I've seen it vary anywhere to the following colors: pinkish red, orange tinted red, purplish red, dark red.
