Will do guys, i called BMW and they said to come on down tomorrow morning and i could drive the M5 and check out a red M3 they have. That dealer is right next to Lexus so i will check that out while im there and maybe take a few pics.
Suprised no one has suggested any of the red paints from HOK, i kinda liked the idea of a Red w/ gold/red candy, i just cant remember what other car ive seen this on.

I like the tangelo orange, but havent seen any reds on cars, I have been aiming on hitting the paint store to scope samples. They have them online, but that doesnt tell much...

Cant do Marlboro Red (ferrari red ftw) its big big $$$ for paint, at least it was when my uncle got his Aston Martin painted in it (dont ask me why he chose a ferrari paint on an aston)
Tangelo Orange is a cool color, unfortunately F&F ruined it (thats the color the Supra in the 1st one was)

Porche's red is really nice. I think it is a Spies Hecker paint though = $$$$. My buddy painted his big block buick 83' regal Guardsman Red = the brightest, "clearest" , nicest looking red (solid- non-metallic) I have ever seen. I don't know the specs on it. Ask around for it.
Guardsman Red is my recommendation.
Good luck

viper red is one of the most true reds I have seen as for me I took a friends advice and painted mine Porsche guards red. If I had to do it over again I would do viper red I had it on the front of my 93 vette and got nothing but compliments on the paint. candy colors look good but dont hold up very well from the uv rays, but if your car is garaged then no need to worry I'd go with RM CARIZZMA http://www.carizzmacolors.com/ cuzz 400 candy 4 coats over cuzz 300 basecoat looks awsome did my motorcycle with it. thats my 2 cents
