    Generally, darker colors and metallics will be harder, because the darker colors show light reflections more, and metallics offer more of a problem than solids for getting the color even.

    If you plan on sanding and buffing, medium shades like this will look much better.

    If you are not a great bodyman, avoid the dark colors, as they will magnify any flaws in the surface.

    If you are a lousy bodyman...are unsure about your talent with a spraygun,... and don't have the patience to sand and buff....use light solid colors.

    I will sand and buff, the darker red looked more solid and forgiving with body imperfections, the lighter one, has more of a depth to it, which I guessing would show even more flaws. Any ideas as to the name of those two reds, and thanks by the way!
