93redFD

Im searching for new red. This is the 2nd Vr fd that i have own that had poor paint. I really like the House of Colors: candy apple red but that not practical for a daily driven street car. I have asked this question before and all i got was " get ferrari red" I dont see any red ferrari here so i dont have a clue what it looks like in "person".
Anybody have any reds in mine? If I have to i will drive a distance just to check out the ferrari What other nice reds are they? Also has anybody ever had there car painted pure red" right out of the can" I here that its bright.

There's a pretty nice looking Porsche red color ... I wanna say it's called Guard Red, or something like that. Looks really good on curvy cars.

Also, surprisingly, Ford has a good looking red color that only came on '94s and '98s (I think). It's called Laser Red. I just bought a '94 Lightning with this color, and I think it would look really good on an FD too.

Hope that gives you something to start with.

go for the Mica red off the rx8, im thinking of gettin mine sprayed that color, if you see the 8 in that color in person you'll see what i mean, its a really deep lovely red!

I'm sorry, but this pic has come up soooooo many times (well deserved). I believe the article said it was the 99+ red

Rosso Corsa is Ferrari Racing Red

Vintage Red Touring

I think the original Vintage Red is a great color.

If you have "poor" paint on it currently, I would think a good paint and body shop could prep your car and re-spray it with VR and that would fix the problem. Much cheaper than a color change (if you do it properly, ie door jams and engine compartment), and it would look like new.

Although, that 99+ red FD is stunning!

mine? If me I will pm it to you.

I looked into 99+ paint and its still VR, I posted in the far east/Japan section and that what they told me.
My door jams and engine bay will be painted also, thats 80% why im doing this.

The car I have I have now has been repainted and somebody did **** poor job. Im the only person that isnt happy with it, everybody says that it looks ok, not me. I have some paint chips in certain places, im sure if they painted over it, it would still chip.

I have my FD painted Viper Red. It is really bright. The color code is PNR I think. Check it out sometime.

I asked steve about the color the other day when I talk to him and he told me it was candy apple red(the same thats on kenny chan's supra at jotec performance in Garlin Tx) '
The Lazer red is a 3 stage process just like the kandy paints so it maybe the same not sure.
Also i have dicided to go with the good old fashion stock VR baby. From all the reds that I see the VR looks the best.

So the (( red is also VR. It looks alot darker in that pic if that is 99 VR red!

93redFD

yea it really does. Thats what they told me

Maybe the clear coat is diffrent in the 99+ Red. I wonder if someone in japan could step in here and clarify what the diffrence is. That 99+ Sure does look beautiful though.
