ok so i got hit by a drunk driver and insurance is paying for most of the paint and repairs and im going to pay the difference to get the whole car repainted. However, i kinda want to go with a different shade of red. The first people who painted the car were supposed to paint it back to san marino red, but it came out darker.

the damage:


i'd like to know actual paint names/codes or even pictures of the red you are referring to. Brighter or darker reds can be posted.

Thanks.

 

Rallye Red (R-513)

 

hmmm, i like that. Could be the flawlessness of the paint tho, lol.

looks a little too similar to what i got right now tho. Thanks for posting

 

just get the proper shade of san marino red, its a nice colour for sure


drunk drivers

 

period blood red.

 

i'm not wanting the stock san marino.

and yes, drunk drivers suck. Especially the ones that dont have enough collision coverage to fix the cars they damaged.

 

Milano Red or R-81. My favorite red ever.

 

ive always loved a clean milano red

 

i REALLY like this:

 

i always wanted to paint my red prelude a dark shade of red... kinda like that IS but less maroonish (could be the crappy monitor im viewing through tho)

 

i think i found the color:




The Cayenne S Titanium Edition is available in four distinct exterior colors, including two which are exclusive to the new model: “Pure Red” is a vibrant and overtly sporting shade

Gonna go to the porsche dealership when i get back home

 

hmm, I could benefit from this thread as well.... so ttt for more!!

 

why not just shoot a candy apple red with heavy flake

 

Damn Blake thats shitty.

Drunk drivers should die.

I havent looked up your lude in along time.

Are you still on pp all the time still?

 

Oh, and I vote Milano Red.

best friend's two cars:

 

im a color fanatic so maybe i can help

blazed red form the new corvetttes (i dont recall the name)(kinda lite orangey red)

bright bright red off the new tacoma (once again i forget the name)

habenero red of the new si


or u can always go honda reds
milano red
rally red
firepepper red

my personal choice would be the corvette one cuz that color is sick its just like my blazed orange metallic but in red

 

The Maroon on that Lexus is cool. Original.

 

new formula red is hot

 

imola red hands down

 

..i hate seeing posts where people start naming colors.... ....and to begin with... the guy who opened the thread mentioned he wanted a lighter shade red than what he has right now.... so i guess... few of the cars posted above would have the ton of color he is looking for....
Anyway... at the body shop where you will take your car.... they will have a book of color samples.... bunch of reds (solids and metallics)... just pick one color and call it.....

I wish it were flawless.

It's OEM paint, and it's far from flawless. It has it's fair share of stone chips, and I did put the bumper over a bump-stop to dodge a car accident (you can see it on the front passenger side bottom). And, here's the best part, I hadn't washed the car in probably 4 weeks, and did an 800 mile road trip two days prior to that photo.

So, it's really dirty, daily driven paint. Oh, would it also matter if I do not have a garage space for it?
