stony Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I really like the red that is on my car now but I'm looking for an even more red then mine. NOT florescent but just a really bright red almost on the verge of orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-eric Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Look up the ppg viper red might be close to what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Check out EvilZ's car. Â It's pretty red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldlion Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I second Eric's opinion. I painted my 62 VW van with the ppg Dodge viper red and it is RED. fire engine red. I'll see if I can drum up a digital photo to upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihavearustedz Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's not a Z but it definatly is RED. It's mazda's "true red" http://lh6.ggpht.com/_LjAr9hhC-ss/RmeBdzSP3kI/AAAAAAAAAYw/__nwHkkMreY/DSC00788.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mazda's "true red" http://lh6.ggpht.com/_LjAr9hhC-ss/RmeBdzSP3kI/AAAAAAAAAYw/__nwHkkMreY/DSC00788.JPG I was thinking wow that's pretentious that they're calling it "true" red, but then, well there you go. Why is it that red is the worst color in terms of endurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldlion Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think that mazda is a tad on the orange side. My VW with the viper ppg has held up really well, but I keep lucille garaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 If only we could see it in person to know whether it's just the lighting. But seeing as how the quote on the vanity plate cover is bleeped, as well as the registration year, there's not much hope. Our only clue is that it was registered in March, hmmmmmm...

madkaw Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Here ya go Mazda True Red on a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I had a Z that was painted Porsche guards Red and it had more orange in it. This red is BLOOD red as my painter calls it. I did use a white sealer under the color that helped lighten up-I think. I fell in love with this color on a Mazda car lot. It is bright and the best Red out there right now.I think IMHO that the trim needs to be blacked out to set it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75280z Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) My 75 280z, The car actually has 2 black racing stripes but from this angle you can't really see them, the paint on this car is 7 years old, it is Dodge Viper Red, after it was painted I personally blacked out the trim pieces I can't agree with madkaw more I love the red with blacked out trim. The car does have a bit of an orange hue, definitely a lighter red. Edited November 23, 2010 by 75280z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
