Default Fire Engine Red? Opinions

I'm in the middle of prepping my car and doing the rear quarter panels. I went to a local shop today and found a gallon of red paint, and its urethane. Its my first job so I want to go with urethane. The color I was told is fire engine red, used for boats and planes. I was wondering what your opinions were of this color on my 4dr eg. If you have any pictures that would be great. I'm not going to base my decision because of Honda-tech people, but I wanted to get an idea of what the general census was. Thanks.

That would be way too bright for my taste. It's probably similar to Chevy Red, or Hot Rod Red.
