The SPI Red is not a good or true picture taker because of the different light.
A couple of reasons is first the Pigment is one of only a rare few that changes a little after in sun for 10-30 minutes.
Second, there are no whites, black or blues added to help it cover and lower the cost.

I agree. The photos don't do the color justice at all....
 
3 coats of dark red, 3 coats of universal, all on top of SPI red epoxy.

It's crazy how much this color varries from Orange light red to this. Is how I hope it looks im going to have to order the chips of both the regular red and the dark red. That color looks awesome on that vet.

That is true. My 68 Mustang Coupe and 67 Fairlane are SPI red and it is very hard to get a good photo to show the true color.

It's crazy how much it changes from the 73 vet
 



SPI Red. Yeah,it's tough to judge and it doers change depending on the light but it's a killer Red for sure. Inside or in shade is darker but in full Sun is bright. This was an overcast shot and really was RED but it'll hurt your eyes in direct Sun which is cool with me......
Honestly,I don't think it 'cares' to the primer color as this paint is so good at coverage it's a mute point.
