dont get metallic.
a: itll cost alot
b: i dont think you know how to do a 3 stage paint job
c: itll look ricey.

the only metallic id put on an fc is lexus arctic white.
otherwise stick close to the stock red, itll look good, especially if you clearcoat it.. do you have a booth/sprayer?

if youre dead set on metallic red.. hmm... you could get a white pearl flake maybE? would that look pink? black pearl. there you go. that would kick ***.

is there any sites where u can look/buy paint, i got the garage and a couple HVLP spray guns... so i think ill b ok....ill wait for a really hot day... i want something that will stand out but not look like a green elclipse, i like the new rx-8 color velocity red mica, that looks hot or a mazda 6 color: volcanic red, i just don't know where to get these colors by the gallon.... i know some 3 stage paints have been made in to just a base coat and a clear coat to have the same effect....
