Help choosing red paint
So I'm getting very close to painting the firewall on my 68 Acadian (Nova) and have always been a fan of red. I want to get the firewall painted so I can get all the suspension back on. The last time I had the car painted, I had it done in a GM cherry red. Not sure of the paint code. I loved the color in the sun, but at night time it got too maroon for my liking. The September 2007 issue of Chevy High Performance has a 67 Chevelle that is done in House of Kolor's Kandy Brandy. I really like the way it looks in that picture, but when I did a search for it and found a couple other pics of what was supposed to be that color, I didn't like it as much. I like the deeper reds, but as stated above, don't want maroon. I also want a color that if the car ever gets into an accident, I can have it repaired without having the entire car repainted. I want a base/clear paint.
Can you guys post some pics of your red cars and if you know what the color is that would be great. Since I'm using BASF primer, should I stick with a BASF paint as well or can I use something else, like House of Kolor? Thanks in advance.
