Not sure how a red metallic would look...I would probably stick with black. Good luck.

I'd be very interested in seeing the end result. I've always liked the idea of black with red metallic, but I saw a picture of it one time and it didn't look quite like I had imagined, but that was only a picture. Who knows about once you get it in all different types of lighting and angles and what-not. A red pearl would probably look better.

Cant you have a sample done for you? Just like on a small piece of scrap metal?

OEM black is a total yawn! Go for the colored metallic.

My roof is Nighthawk Black with blue metallic. It looks INSANE!
It's actually pretty subtle, you can really only see it in the sun.

Get some cojones and go for it!

black with red metallic - think black cherry.

my TL is Nighthawk Black , blue flakes. I get many compliments and people always ask me why I'm driving a black TL and where my blue TL is.
