Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
Hi, I'm trying to figure out wich red color to choose.
Dont know if I should go with any candy paint o metallic. I really like a truck with bright red color that pops but will I get tired of it quicker than a candy red paint, hmm. I just know I dont want it to be too dark. Please post pictures of red C10s or just any red truck/car that can inspire me to choose ![]()

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
torch red [Corvette] and victory red[Silverado] are the same reds. Look at a Caddy Alante red from the mid to late 90's. The is the reddest I found when painting my drag car. Brilliant and vivid. Jim

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
They all look red haha. the one in the picture looks really nice.
about candy red, can you lay any specific base to make it more bright or is candy red just candy red and so be it?

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
If you are going to the expense and trouble of a candy red I'd suggest a darker red over a mettalic gold base. Very classic deep warm color you really don't see anymore. White is the brightest base and silver is a close second. But again I prefer a gold or copper base under most candy colors.
In any event shot test panels first of possible shades/colors over various bases before making a final decision. Then get them out in the sun and sun protected shade to see which works for you.

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
White under red will make the red pop a little more. If your new to painting I would suggest that you shay away from candies 3 stages or pearls it is hard enough for a guy with gun time much less someone new to spraying. i hope you don't take offense to my comments they are only trying to help. Jim

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
Your truck looks sweet and is one of my favorites Mike... I had a 69 GMC while I was in the Navy and painted it Victory red, awesome color but I made the mistake at the last second and decided to put pearl in the clear coat which ended up taking the deep red out of the paint and giving it a pinkish tint in the sunlight lol.

Re: Soon to hit the paint booth (red options)
I really like the new Crystal Red on the corvettes and Cadillacs.
I was considering this one. |
