Default Looking for a sweet "Red" Color Paint

I always like to know info way in advance so I can make wise decisions. In a year, I hope to throw on a Version Select or Origin kit or something. But the problem with just painting the kit is it wont match the stock paint.

Seeing how a full body color change is out of the question now, I am looking for "RED" colors that would look GOOD on a modded SC. Something that will match similary to the 3k3 Garnett Pearl stock. Looking for reds that just make you go "wow".

Im trying my darnest to get Black SP1's, so red/black look. Can someone give me some wow red colors?

Here is a picture of a truck we just painted. I cant remember what the paint is called I think it is blood red kandy base. It comes from Kustom shop. sorry that it is a picture of a truck but I really love the color. The picture doesn't even do it justice.

Yea... Sean's red is a "wow" red. Either that or the color red that fellow member Twizted (i believe is his sn) went with.

I love the way that candy red looks. Can someone break down the steps which breaks down the difference between candy and regular paint?

Kandy is a dye. You spray your base and then candy over it. the more coats the darker. There are a TON of different kandies. The one on the truck I posted is a new kandy base, meaning you spray it just like basecoat but it looks like candy.

with kandy your base coat color will also effect the final outcome of your kandy paint job.
