Default Cant decide on new shade of red...

Next weekend Im prepping my car for full new paint. Looking at a standered 2 or 3 stage factory quality paint job, so no expensive bulletproof lambo paint.

I love Milano Red, especially during sunsets and sunrises, but Ive found that it gives off a shade of pink in direct sunlight. I'm looking for a red that looks as wet and shiney in the sun, as it does in dimmer light or in the shade.

Any recommendations with pictures?

Here are two comparing examples of direct sunlight vs. shade:


Direct Sunlight:



Shade:

Thats a good possibility.

Just trying to see what all other options are out there.

Edit: Also anyone know why my "automatic e-mail notify for threads" is not functioning?

Also, some of my black interior trim has faded a bit over time, do you think having them painted FLAT black will replicate the OEM plastic look well? (No I dont want glossy black interior pieces.)

youre referring to glare. everyone's car (except black) will look different in direct sunlight.

dont paint yoru interior pieces. all of ours fades in time. youre going to regret it if you do.

Keep it red. Make sure you get the skirts sprayed too.
