What color should i paint my 7?

My 7 is going in for paint next week, and i can't make my mind up on the color. It's red atm, and i want to keep it red, just what red?

If money grew on trees i'd paint it ferrari red, but thats out of the question. Any recommendations on which shade of red?

Thanks

i agree, that is awesome.

But what paint code is that?

Article goes about it in a roundabout way. Maybe i just can't read.

QUOTE: "When I ordered the rear wing I asked for it to be sent in red, but when the wing arrived it came with the 2000 red tone. So I matched the wing color to paint the car, that's how I got the red on the car."

Time to go on a search for the Vintage Red Color Code from the year 2000!

Stock S4 Royal Maroon Metallic.

That's what mine was, but the primer grey is slowly taking over. It'll be flat black soon.
