Im possible looking at having my car resprayed early next year. Not sure if to keep it to the standard Nissan red, or try something different. Possibly a Ferrari Rosso red? I think someone has already got a 300 in rosso red?

 

Any ideas on shades? wont be any trick/flip colours.

Not cheap though I believe.

The best shade of red i know has the code, 'black'.

I must admit I was wondering about using the colour on my Slicktop??

Well maybe next year..... Engine first.

azalia red

Good timing this thread!! I spent a while in the bodyshop today after the last piece arrived. (99 spec spoiler. cheers Chris ;) ) went through loads of red colour cards and still havn't made up my mind :(

 

I wanted candy apple but they can't do it. Audi have some nice new reds aswell. I've got about two days left. I might be going Craigs colour. But I don't want to be a copycat :D .

I'd go for a really really really dark red. Thats how mine is sprayed. ;)

 

But seriously....the best red has to be Candy Apple red. :cool:

But Avoid any shade that turns orange under street lighting

 

Bazza, yours looks like its already had a recent respray, from the pics !

Thanks for that, would it suprise you if I told you that its a 1990 UK car and thats it original paintwork, apart from bumper and side skirts. It has the odd blemish, a bit of laquer flaking, so hoping to bring it back up to new.

Laquer, on a non-metallic paint? :confused:

 

Doesn't sound original to me.

all paints have Laquer, (apart from mine :D )

But if the laquer is peeling it points to a seperate clear top coat?

 

Standard, single colour paints don't use a clear-coat. :confused:
