Default Whats a good shade of red?

Ill be painting my car soon and im looking into different shades of red.

Whats a good shade thats not too flashy and would suit bronze rims?

My option is a maroon with a more reddish shade.

Help me out guys. Pics are welcome.

Check with a House of Colors if you got one local and ask for a Snap Dragon Red. Thats a old color, they the only one's i seen to mix it right. I havent seen that color in bout 5 years on any vehicle. It is helluva damn bright. Do a white or a light grey primer and 6 coats o clear. drool

Milano red = fastest fading paint.

Ofcourse you can pay more to have it layer the **** on.

Personally i like the supra red, o god is that deep and cleared cloated like a ****.

Or rasberry metallic

I have a milano red lude, and its faded a little since 2001 and its been garage kept and taken care of, but true milano looks so good, If your looking for something a little darker how about the eariler fifth gen san marino red.
