Twinsting is an HOK color and he mentioned it in a thread here. I will have to find my article on Red Witch or Charley should chime in.

Boyd uses Dupont mostly as far as I know and the formula I have is in Dupont Chroma series. I think it is called Boyds001. It has a distinct blue tint to it.

Luckily I am buddy buddy with my paint store because they gave me over a gallon of different reds 1/2 pint at a time looking for the right red. I have tried them all except for some new ones that have come out this last year. I wanted the purest looking red without looking yellow like torch or blue like boyd's. I finally came up with a custom mix, but I think there is some factory colors out now that may be good enough for me. Or if I bite the bullet, I will paint it the way I originally wanted too which was to have an anodized red look.

Mike

Here's DuPont Milano red, it's a color that really caught my eye. It's a shade darker than DuPont Viper red which I thought might look better with my white stripes. I took these pics a few years ago at SEMA for reference.

That is a nice red, Scott does this mean you are planning on repainting your car?

Scott I can't make out the code for the Milano Red. Looks blurry on my screen. Can you post it so I can check it out?

Anthony, I will call up the paint store tommorrow and post it up. It only has like 3 colors in it if I remember right.
