What shade of red for respray

Post by glen n »

My car is in to be painted and have the sill fixing. I've been trying to decide whether to stay with the original shade of red or go for something different. I saw a fiesta xr2 today which was done in Ferrari Rosso red (I think) has anyone else gone for a different shade of red?

Freshly painted Super Red 2 (3E5) looks amazing. I'll be getting mine done in that once I find somewhere good to do it.

Cheers, Michael.

I've been looking for ages I do like the Ferrari Rosso Corsa shades but it may be better sticking with the super red. Anything will be better than super pink!

I would stick with Super Red 2 also. Just how a red should be imo.

having it painted the original colour also helps with the sale value. If you should come to sell

My favourite red by far, is the lexus is200. It's really vibrant, and looks stunning.
