My car is currently flame red
its been in 3 accidents each resulting in new body parts, so theres about 5 different shades of red on the car, plus I got the lovely fading rear bumper syndrom and the body shop left the inside of the one of the fenders in primer
anyways i'm working on convincing my parents to throw my some cash for christmas to help get it repainted
i want to keep it red
so should i get it repainted flame red, blaze red or a darker shade of red
heres some currents pic (kind of outdated)

faded bumper FTL
the side molding is going to be removed and will be taking off the top pinstripe decal
the sticker in the window has been removed
i have projector headlights to install and mopar lip kit and side skirts

Um what's the diff between flame and blaze?

My car is "Viper" red, geez there's prolly a dozen different reds I guess.

viper red (prn/lrn) is more orangey
flame red (pr4) is inbetween viper and blaze
blaze red has a darker tint, sort of cherry colored

Don't laugh man... there was a 1gn that i would see rolling around ( i think it was owned my an older lady ) that i was a dark red w/ gold snowflakes painted all over it. It's not the same as your 'gold flakes' but close enough

Flame red with gold flakes, it's my inspiration after my engine swap:
Here's what his friend said, who took the pics:
We were all waiting anxiously for his car to get out of the shop after being keyed and broken into. He decided to go with a gold pearl in the flame red paint, gold pearl on the CF, black roof with gold pearl, mirrors colormatched, eyelids and custom painted hood. Hes still waiting on the foglight surrounds and we will reshoot in the sun during the weekend where you will really see the pearl, it looks incredible in person and has like an orange/yellow tint to it. I like it ALOT.

You going to lose the striping when its painted?? I know I would, but thats just me.

those were on the car when i bought it 5 years ago
i'm going to take the top pinstripe off but the bottom one has kinda grown on me so i'm considering leaving it on
leaning towards keeping it flame red

Ha, do ya think it might be alittle bit darker paint under the pinstripe??

a little bit lighter maybe
that's why i won't take it off or the side molding off until i'm ready to get it painted
theres enough shades of red on the car as it is

apk2k6 i love that car, although i like the lip in black as an accent to the red/black its got going on, but it looks out of place seeing as the side skirts are red
but i like the cross hair deleted!
