What Red paint color looks best.......
 
I am thinking of repainting my vintage red 3rd gen RX7, does anyone have any pictures of the best looking red they have seen.

Thanks in Advance,
André

Mine's Mitsubishi 3000GT red, which has a little more orange in it and noticeable around sunset. Very attention-getting tho...

I think this may be stock Vintage Red...

Martini, Love that Red.
Is that your car?
What is the body kit and hood on it?
Is it a functional venting hood?

Scorpio 12-10-01 12:51 PM

I'm a fan of my vintage red. :)

Sure is glossy for factory vintage red, Scorpio. Very nice... Was it repainted and buffed out?

Scorpio 12-10-01 02:16 PM

At the time, I was very strict about the following rules:

1) If the car gets washed, it gets waxed afterwards.
2) No driving in the rain.

Stock paint...fresh wax job...and a good picture while on the scale for a weigh-in (2907 pounds with 1/2 tank gas! :)

Here's another:

I personally like a darker red, like the "Rennisance Red" on the mkiv supras

purerx7 08-23-05 06:37 AM

This is blueskaterboy car, its a three stage laser red with a gold metallic flake, IMHO this is the nicest red I think I have ever seen. Reminds me alot of magnetic red from the c5 corvette.

Velocity Red Mica. Its What I Just Painted My Car. I Have To Polish It Though. Imo, This Red Is Absolutly Amazing! Its The Oem Paint. + We Sprayed The Car With 5 Coats Of Pearl, Mazda Only Uses 2. Ill Post Pics When Its Done.

RX 4 Speed 08-23-05 08:38 AM

Definitely Stock Vintage Red
 
Original 12-1/2 year old paint... imagine what it looked like brand new. Same rules as Scorpio, if washed, then waxed. If not, detail sprayed... never sees rain. ;)

I think the original VR paint is the best when kept in good condition. Of course, it does help that my car has been garaged the past 6 years. :)

Ahhh, so many brilliant looking reds. They're all perfect. IMO, i think stock vintage red gets the win. But that SRT-10's red looks outstanding. Good luck picking.

rx7dv8 08-31-05 04:58 PM

Im going with this color once i get my rebuild done...
