Re: Who has the best red paint job?
Mine is an 88 iroc, it was repainted once before I bought it. I only spent about 20 hours puffing, polishing, and waxing it haha, but it looks pretty good

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
Mine is Crimson Perl froma 02 Caddy Deville. It's a tri-coat so its not cheap, but really bright and has alot of depth. Here is a pic from last year after washing it. Not even waxed.

She's got a few dings in her, but not bad after being repainted 20 years ago.

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
Garage paint by a guy I work with. Factory red, and yes I know the decal is in the wrong spot. The guy that did it had one on before I caught him.
1986, with 77k miles. This is a project my son and I did for his first car when he turns 16 on 10-14-11.

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
Bright red in 86 was 81U, not 74U. 74 is Dark Red Metallic. Also, Chevrolet referred to it as Bright Red, not Victory Red. Just an FYI

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
I really like the Tri-coat system until you have to try and color match it, it is based like a Kandy color. They look great and add a great amount of depth, your car is really sharp.
