Default Anyone have a custom red?

I'm going to have my car repainted but I figured I would have something different put on it. It's currently bright rally red, but I kinda want a red that's going to stand out a little more. A red that's different turn every other red camaro, but doesn't change to much because I'm just having the outside redone don't really want to have two complete colors under the hood and in the door jams. So if anyone has any ideas or pics of something I would appreciate them.

this is kandy apple red. not a Kandy paint but in the 50s i believe they had an actual color called Kandy Apple Red.




it should be a little darker but this happened before we could mix the paint. so i suppose some of the color was dumped out on my concrete pad lmao

Could look into a Audi Brilliant Red.... I chose that for my 01' SS and it's pretty sharp. It's suppose to be a shade lighter than a Corvette Victory Red.

Go to your local auto paint supply store and look at some straight mixing colors. They are the cleanest of all of the colors. These are the cans that they use to mix all of the colors from. If not have them make you up a custom color. I managed an auto paint store for 12 years , i used to do that for customers all the time. Make sure they formulate it for you in case you need more at another time.
