Given you found the color you were looking for I hope you don't mind thread jacking to ask what about a black 2IS? I have red decals but am torn whether to paint them black with extra clear or some other color? I have limo tint and 3000k fogs with spacers and a drop coming real soon.

i always like black cars with red calipers especially since you have some red decals on the car. red with black lettering would look nice and some extra clear wouldnt hurt either.

Any color would look nice on a black car. Since you already have red decals, then red would match really well.
