Color choice

i'm thinking of painting an M3 body red.....but I'm not sure if i should use the Pactra Bright red or the racing red......anyone have any pics or samples of cars that are painted in those colors so i can see? Its kinda hard to judge the paint by looking at the can itself. Thanks

It will also be hard to judge from a picture on the internet too. I like the bright red. I think it looks good.

how is the racing red anyway? is it more of like a dull kind of red?

Use some Candy Red & back with silver.... The results are intense... The Candy paints really look that much better... It is very important to do a few coats of the Candy paints before backing with Silver though... The less coats, the lighter the red will be... Unless pink is your color....lol j/k

i painted and alfa romeo 156 gta racing red and the hood pearl purple the results r really sweet, by the way racing red is more like a blood red, dark and not too bright.
