It would be sick to be able to chance the color on a whim. Make the car much more enjoyable with being able to have such a versatile appearance... Post up some more pictures with the red when its all done! Good luck!

i am really fortunate to work with a bunch of great guys at the shop i work at. we are all car nuts so i have the ability to do this. to tell you guys the truth, it will be 1 year since i have owned my evo(thanksgiving 08' to be exact)so actually it will be 2 color changes in a year
the color that i'm going with right now is from the car manufaturer skoda. i dont know exact name for the color, but i think its called something like copper orange metallic or something like that. we'll see how it goes with this color.
everything gets painted besides the engine bay. i'll be taking more pics once it gets closer to completion. thanks for the complements everyone
