Thats kind of tough to say my friend, that is why i say shoot some test panels or test cards first to make sure you get the right one you are looking for. A pearl coat is a very very transparent coat, and only reflects the pearl over the base coat. PR4 is a bright red(its a dodge color), Rally Red( i am not sure of the code) is a bright red, but its really tough to say "go with this one" cause as soon as the pearl hits it, it could change how it "pops". Here is what you do, scoot on down to your painters, and have him shoot you some test cards, one with just red and a blue pearl, and another with WHITE or YELLOW FIRST, then the same red on top of that, then the same pearl on top of that, have him clear both of them, and you tell me which one you like best. The one with white or yellow underneath is gonna be a TOTALLY diff color and BRIGHTER then the other one, and its the same color on there. IMO, just open up his book of colors and start picking the ones you like, there are billions and billions of reds out there and until test panels are sprayed we are all really spinning our wheels "guessing", you need to see it before you tell him ok spray away. Good luck man

EDIT*** STAY AWAY from metallics, you want a solid red, if you put a pearl over a metallic, its not going to look to good. So pick a solid red, let the pearl handle the sparkling

Nice tip .. Did not know that

Come on somebody must remember the theard with this car in it..


Nice .. gonna look up the paint code for that

 

Found some Malino Red ... love it .. its close to the evo and difinately what i would want







sorry about the non evo Pics i know some of you guys are touchy

 

how about the stock color rally red !!!!!!!!!!

 

I like Rally Red .. but i want something with a little pearl in it



This one looks nice thou


But i have seen a few RR's that just look Flat

 

Brembo Red.

 

Hey just another tip, when you go talk to your painter, ask him to show you some tri coat reds, (same deal as a pearl as there will be 3 stages, base-> pearl-> to clear). You might find what you are looking for with some tri coats. But I would do something totally different since you are getting your car painted, meaning I would pick out my own red(and WRITE IT DOWN OR REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT COLORS YOU CHOSE, just in case you get into an accident and need it again) then pick my own pearl, and spray away.

Any tips on details ...

Black door Handles
Gold or Black Rims
Tinted or Clear Glass

 

Paint the door handles the color of the car, I personally do not like evo's with Black door handles, IMO makes them look tacky, doesnt flow very well. I think gold rims on a red car would look sick, and of course Tinted glass son, cmon now,

But just remember this is YOUR CAR, you do it how YOU want it done. Its not Evom's Members car, its yours. So do what you like, no matter what anyone else says.

lol .. sick good or sick bad want to throw up


Black bonnet anyone

 

SICK means GOOD, gold rims would look good

 

Ok, kinda getting a crazy *** idea .. how about i srapy 2 rims gold and 2 black ... i put it on each side ... now i cant recall ever seeing this being done .. i dont think it will look tacky as you can never see all 4 wheels at the same time .. so in essence the people on the left will get a differnt view from the people on the right

Good or Bad idea

 

man I dunno, I am all about being different and doing your own thing, but man I just dont know about this one???? Are you into freestyle moto X? Maybe michelin can make you some camo colored tires to go with that rim idea??? I am kidding man, but I dunno about the 2 gold and 2 black?? I guess its different?

Josh

 

Yup, ive seen people waering 2 sets of rims front and back, but never seen it the way im thinking ../ ... dont know, something tells me i can start a new "Rice" trend

Good thing is which ever side looks best i can paint the other side to match

 

looks kind of like the m3 red with some pearl in it
