Default crx paint suggestions

Hey all, im looking to update the paint on my sun-faded-oxidized-red crx si. I was told by the painter that its cheaper to stick with a color similar to stock so the whole chassis doesnt have to be taken apart to cover all the intricate details. So im looking for suggestions/recommendations for a nice red. He also suggested a charcoal/red two tone job, but any suggestions are welcomed!

Im not completely cheaping out on this.. my uncle is going to do the body work (a couple minor rust spots and dents) as well as the paint. he said it would cost substantially more to change the color completely but im looking at 1200 dollars right now.

i only offered a suggestion like you asked for...you know what they say "you get what you pay for" but if you got the hook ups then by all means go for it...!!!
