Painting my Car RED!!

I never thought I would but After seeing that Bright red Rex with the wide body I have to......

Please post up pics of your RED REXES! I am painting it Massy Fergeson REd.. LOL. It is the brightest red for the least amount of money. I will hit it with a white base coat, then shoot the red over top.. The white will really make the red pop..
Then I will probably tint the windows dark, and buy some black wheels with a polished lip. AHHH.

Anyways post up your favorite RED rex!

Thanks!
I wasn't too crazy about the painted trim/emblems/wipers ect on the widebody, otherwise I thought it was rather nice.
I do have a rather unique hood prop, until I get the gas strut system installed. Air cleaner cover is from ReSpeed
For those wanting a closer view:

FWIW. I wouldn't put the white under the red. Every door ding and rock chip will stand out like a diamond in a goat's....., well, you know the rest. If you get your primer/sealer tinted to near the same color of the basecoat, the chips and dings won't show as much.

You may notice that the A-pillar trim has been sandblasted to a matte finish. I kinda liked it like that so I never bothered to repaint them.

I was going to paint this one silver, but I thought it looked too aluminum, so I bought red...

No wide body DirectFreak.. I like them but I don't have rims wide enough.. Probably will end up putting on flares.....
