Hey Guys,
I've been inactive on this forum since the changeover from the previous incarnation (previous username 70mousjob) and am looking for some advice now that I am getting back to my project. I have a 68 Camaro that I am getting ready for paint, and I'm having a tough time with red selection. All of my primers and clear are SPI, and I'm planning on contacting Chad for some Prospray when it comes time to base.
The problem I'm having is selecting a red. I like a really pure red, with litte if any orange tint, but I want something that is going to look right on the car. So far I'm enamored with Chevy Victory Red, however I'd guess there are probably a million variants. It seems half of the time I see this color I love it, and the rest of the time it is too orange. I used to have a red 2000 trans am, and every time I saw it next to a Pickup or something else in Victory, the victory looked really orange. I do however love how it looks on the ZL1 on Chevy's website. How do I pick the right variant? Other colors I've been looking at include: Ford Colorado Red and I think its Mazda Velocity Red (not quite sure, but I do really like a red that is on a bunch of little mazda's running around). Any thoughts to this age old, asked a million times question?
Thanks!
Brandon
