And that is a yes from me on more photos of that car please.

No problem... but you might not like the answer. I use a mixture of brands, but the candy concentrate is House Of Kolor Kandy Apple Red. The base is more of a problem. The color samples included a ceramic flake... over a black basecoat. We liked it best, but found out they stopped making it a couple years ago. It took me a few weeks, and searching nationwide, to find enough to paint it, and have enough left for future repairs.

Other things you could try would be HOK Ice Pearl, or tinted silver flake, which are similar but weaker. You just have to try different combos to see what they look like.
