Ford has a red paint that I've seen on the new F150's. It is gorgeous in the sunlight. Almost looks like it has a bit of pink in it. Here's an example, but the pic doesn't really do the color justice. Go to your local Ford dealer and have a look:
It's called "Red Candy"

When you see it in the sun it looks a mile deep. Be prepared for sticker shock when you see the price of red paint versus, say black paint, lol.

On a sidenote I've narrowed down the paint choices to these:
Vibrant Red:
Victory Red:
Passion Red:
Chili Red:
I'm not a fan of the volvo red I think its to "look at me" while looking kinda of cheapish if that makes sense.
I like the torch red, seen it in person on a Zr1 and knew that if I ever got a newer c6 vette I would want it torch red. To bad its exclusive to the Zr1 i think.
And yes a good red paint is going to cost more, but red usually lays really nicely. My best friend is a painter and he loves spraying anything red.

Because it wouldn't really stand out on a bright red color, and if it's going to be bright I want it really glossy but if it was a dark red or blue I would deffinitely go with the metallic.
If you go to someone that mixes their own paint, I doubt there will be much difference between regular, metallic, pearl.
Most of the premium you see with metallic paints is dealers thinking those words command a higher price tag on the option list when in reality there is not much difference.

Didn't get as much done as i wanted to because i only had an hour and a half at my disposal but heres what got done today:
Hopefully this Monday or Tuesday I can head down and finish the passenger door and work on the rear bumper and if there's time, do some exhaust work.
And its looking like Victory Red is the color I'm going with
