Default Brightest red available

What is the brightest red available on the market that is not from some exotic car?

Just curious if i should go with the stock NFR which is about 501 a gallon in dupont.

Forget a lot of the common color codes... Just get the brightest red toner on whatever paint line you use.

If you want really deep red go to a slightly lighter shade then about 3 to 5 coats of candy red over that will give you the most amazing red you have ever seen.

I'm already committed with the materials

Painting is a lot of fun though. I found a local shop (coastairbrush.com) that sells HOK paints unreduced in 2 and 4oz so I'm picking up a few to learn the line so to speak.
