painted with the 2000 red hue. To finish off the body lines, Jose opted for APEX'i side skirts. Hitting up a local PPG paint supply store, they matched the red off the wing and Jose splashed the entire body of the RX in that shade

thats all it says, doesnt quite say that the color is 99 spec red, but i get the feeling like it was a custom color from japan perhaps

I want this color badly,,, or Rx8 red

No what he is getting at is it says this...

3. What caught our attention to feature your car was how clean it is. We love the way the red flows around your car, and it just highlights the body. Is there any reason why you opted to paint the car factory Red?

The car was red originally; I didn’t want to change the color. 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.

The way that sounds to me is this:
He had his car painted that origional red color in the wrecked picture. Then his wing arrived which was painted FACTORY RED from the 2000 year of the car. So they got rid of the origional red from the wrecked picture and Repainted the car to the 2000 paint code. (Which is the same paint the wing had on it.) Hopefully that makes better sense then that article

So just find out what the 2000 paint code is an your are going to find your color you want. Goodluck!

That car is beautiful! If I ever repaint my VR it will be that 2000 model red. Has anyone dug up the paint code yet?
