well its actually red, its about 2 shades brighter than Blaze Red, which is why it looks orange, in the shade its a nice rich bright red, and the cost.... 
5$ for a gallon of the paint, 15$ for the clear, and free spray since my dad and i sprayed it not bad for 20$
BTW: thanks bingoboy for posting the pics

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Now all you need to do is turn your rims around the right way, and you'll be set.
New paint is damn nice isnt it. I just got my 89 vert done about 2 months ago, and I wash that ****** about every 3 days.

By the way, what size tires are you running. They look like 205/55-15 and not 205/60-15.
I've been searching for weeks trying to find an RX-7 with shorter tires to see how it looks. Does your car have lowering springs?
Thanks.

Nice Job ..
Actually, I notice that the Flame red color usually copy orange when taking pictures in the bright sunlight, or into the cars interior , and being in your area surely has a lot of sunlight , probablly pictures would look a lot deeper Red under a shady tree or just before dark .. nice job .. body looks real clean now ..

lol, i knew i was gonna get the backwards rim comment, it wasnt my fault, the tire shop did it when putting on the tires lol
The tires are actually 205-50-15, their Sumitomo HTR-200, and i have the stock suspension, although its probably sagging since the shocks are dead, which probably has my springs sagging a bit

my dad scored a gallon of industrial enamel for 5$ at an auction, and im pretty sure that he got some more, i dont know if he got any more red like that, but i can check if anyone is interested in some paint.
mine has the stock S4 moldings, i just painted them, so you dont have to switch to S5, but the S5 moldings are a little more subtle, not as big as the S4.
