Got some color on last night. Started spraying the color about 5pm and finished the clear at 2am. I don't have enough lighting in my shop to get a nice flow on the clear but after some polishing it will be okay. I love the color but I am not sure if it is the right color for this car. Won't know until I get it together and roll it outside I think. It is nice to have that part behind me though.

I'm not a big fan of red, but that shade sure looks pretty. That ought to be killer in the sun.

Looks great to me!

same here. love the color.

Yeah,thats in ya face.. Will stand out in the crowd...Nice.

I was going to paint it two tone with an orange metallic on top and off white on the bottom but then I seen this color on a 2009 charger and figured since I am running a Hemi it would be a good fit. When I get the black running boards and grill on it should look a little better. The pics of course don't really show the true color.

Sorry didn't see all the other replies. Thanks everyone!

I am not sure I have heard of a redaholic before. Is there a 12 step program for that?

I like the red, although normally I don`t don`t fiqure, anyways real nice...

Probably is, but none of us redaholics would participate....I think the blue guys have one too!!!!

Yeah I suppose it is a harmless addiction.

Thanks 406Rich. I am actually liking it more and more. Having all the pearl in it definitely makes it a unique red. I think I like it more when the light isn't shining on it then when it is but knowing me that may change as well.

I think the color is looking pretty sweet!! Are you saying the grill is going to be black?? I would do the grill the same color as the rest of the car unless it is chrome. Nice work!!

I took therapy for years to break myself of that red addiction. I faltered when I painted my car, but was able to get an emergency treatment.


Great color - now the real fun is coming cut 'n' buff

Well you faltered in a good way I would say. I like the color you chose for your car.

I don't know if I would call cut and buff fun.
