I like the stock milano red. Just throw on a few extra coats of clear to make it really shine!

actually that EG up there wasnt laser red.. the body shop somehow messed up the color.. but they are right.. laser red is by far the nicest red, and thats not just an opinion.. there isnt a brighter red on the market..

the pic can only give you an idea, but ive seen an S4 parked next to a milano red integ before and it made the milano red look like maroon. no lie. Jaeone was there with me.


and here is guards red.. its a lovely red and i like it a lot, plus its kinda similar to laser red, but id still have to pick laser red because ive loved that color for years

i think its like an attempted laser red, but its got a lot of orange tint to it so i know the color is messed up.. plus it was done at a body shop that does terrible paint work..
