well just found out that M3 is Ferrari Red. don't think I'll be going that route...

 

A20 is a nice red.

Nissan red... i think its Laser Red.

 

if there are no others, i might go with that. is there a paint that has a deeper look to it?

i saw a BRIGHT RED mkiv supra stanced out on CCWs yesterday that made me choose to go with red. it was the perfect red, no hint of maroon or other dark red yet it shined like a black car. there are reds out there that are very dull (reflective wise)

 

well it actually wasn't hard to find that supra online lol.

found a user on the supraforums located in the SF Bay Area with a red mkiv on black CCWs, and i'm pretty positive this is who I saw.





It's Ferrari Rossa Corsa Red.

no wonder I went damn when I saw it. Ferrari red ftw

 

was it metallic?

the shine has a lot to do with the clear coat.. if it had mirror like shine then it was sure to be a custom paint job.... it consists many coats of clear and wet sanding and buffing back to shine....

yet there are a lot of different reds...

toyota reds you can go with is

non metallic
3L5 bright red

3P0 is a deeper bright red

metallic
3R3 its a bright red

nissan reds non metallic
A20 bright red
A54 deeper bright red

 

here check this website out.... http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...All%2520Models just found it for you to look at reds.. that ferrari red might be a GRiP!! youll need at least 1 whole gallon of paint.

 

yup i'm looking at automotivetouchup and paintscratch. i made an order on aston martin green but they contacted me and said they don't mix that paint. i was like why the hell do they have it listed on their site. I even put it into my cart and paid. needless to say, i asked for my money back, and don't think i'll be ordering paint online.

as for the ferrari red, that's a bummer. but would a paint shop be able to mix a very similar paint for much cheaper than authentic ferrari paint? lol

 

so you're saying I can choose any decent looking red and make it mirror like if I put a lot of layers of clear over it? how many layers we talkin?

 

yea.. call shermin williams or pro finishes and they should be able to mix it for you... they have different types of paint... you get what you pay for in this case. honestly i think a20 or 3P0 is very similar to what your going for.... a deep bright red.

 

pretty much... more than 2 medium coats of clear coat at least 4, but when you do that it tends to "orange peel" this is the reason why it is necessary to wet sand and buff back to shine!! very time consuming and very expensive! clear coat the more expensive part of the paint job hahahaha...

 

Checking through the Audi reds. I found Misano Red. looks like a nice deep red, but there a few shots where it looks to be orange. not sure if I like this.

Here's Misano Red and Volcano Red in the back I believe.

should I go for this? I'll be going to a paint store this week.

 

You doing the paint job urself??

 

Hell yes.

 

that misano red is sick.

 

Alright well. Looks like I'll be heading over to the paint shop and asking for a gallon or so of Misano red. And about 50 gallons of clear.
