Default What Red

I want to repaint my car bright red. I was wondering if another red would look better than the victory red that came on my car in 2000. What about a Ferri Red?

you could look at Prowler Red, but 8774 Red GM is the best (fire red)

I've always been a fan of Torch red(corvette color). My old truck was a custom mixed color a little brighter than torch.

Torch Red, maybe add some pearl(s) in a clear basecoat or in the clear.

Laser Red is awesome. Too bad it's a Ford color. E9 I think? My husband had painted his old '94 Mustang that color. It was crazy. Very eye catchy. Red is an expensive color; that sucks.

Bright GM Red is a great color. But if you are interested check out BMW reds and the red that comes on the Vipers (only runs about $130 a quart). I would have stuck with the GM red but I wanted something that was a little different so I went with a Toyota color that is similiar but nicer.

What ever red color you do choose make sure it just pops. Red is one of those colors that should turn heads. Don't go with anything inbetween red and orange. Or like a faded red color.

I've always loved Torch red myself. I like the lighter formula in PPG's DBC or DBU. That lighter formula is like a 99% dead ringer for what is on the Vette's.
