red paint?

when i finish adding gfx to my car, i'm going to repaint it all the stock bright red. is there a difference in the bright red in 87 compared to 92 bright red? if there is, which looks better, or are there any other shades of red that would look better. keep in mind that i'm not going to get like the door jambs and engine bay repainted, so it will still have to be close to the original red.

You could paint the door jams yourself with an arosol can (touch up paint) before you get the car painted. It would probably end up looking better than if you didn't paint them at all.
