Sorry don't have a trans am, but I have a Camaro that I just had painted Victory Red. I really like it, it's a very deep red (no orange).

Re: paint color ideas need help !!

How about a metallic blue? That sunburst Orange is pretty sweet also. But you are right a really hot Red would look awesome!

I had a red one when i was younger, I miss the attention red gets on a sunny day but im still undecided so the more pics(colors) the better. nothing has really said " hey im your color" yet.
