Best looking Red on the Z32

[93Z]

I'm painting my car some type of red. Just can't quite figure out which red. So i want you guys to post pics of your favorite red on the Z32 and the name of the color. Thanks

[gsrteg]

cherry red pearl. classy color.

[Shoey2]

hot damn gsrteg, thats nice red

[gsrteg]

its oem haha. the car has 60k flat right now on it, and garaged its whole life and always covered in wax which is why the paint looks mint. but dont go to bright on the red. my last car (gs-r integra) was milano red and got me pulled over all the time haha. il post a pic for the fun of it. you stuck on red though?

thats milano red aka "arrest me red" haha

[gsrteg]

wait, isnt your car cherry red pearl already? your profile shot looks like the same color as mine lol?

Cherry Red Pearl looks different slightly in different light conditions, from goldish highlights and almost candy red in bright sunlight to deep burgundy when cloudy or dark.
My sig pic is on a cloudy day, it's most "normal" color.

Yeah, I'm repainting my car since it was wreaked.. but I'm staying with the CRP (cherry red pearl) OEM color of mine. I'm absolutely in love with the color. My top two Z colors are CRP and Black.

Mine is in my sig right after a wash/wax and it was a decently cloudy day.

i am another vote for cherry red pearl. code is AH3

couple of mine in various light as it does change

[93Z]

Wow cherry red pearl looks really good. Should I add some metallic flakes to it ?

[gsrteg]

z-owned i never realized how beautiful your car is. well done. and 93z i think it comes with pearl or metallic flakes in it already?

[DCaff300ZX]

The pearl has very minute metallic look to it up close, but not really as noticeable in the way a metallic flake paint job is.
The pearl aspect is what changes the way the cor looks in various light, a prism effect I believe...

[93Z]

Where can I buy the AH3 paint at?

[Z-owned]

Any automotive paint supplier should be able to mix it per that code. Otherwise you can order it from http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ I painted my side skirts with some paint from them and it actually matched the original paint quite well. You planning to paint it yourself?

[93Z]

I was thinking about it but I might just pay someone

[93Z]

And is that a 3 stage?

[canadian booster]

i would vote 1 for NOT the oem color of my Z *lol* check my sig

when mine goes for paint, i'm undecided still about the cherry red or r35 titanium (KAC)

left one is titanium:


or the red:

Ive seen the titanium on a z before... b.e.a.utiful!

[Fearspect]

What red would this be, I think it looks amazing:

CRP at night

[a.p.barron]

I like CRP, but I think the Aztec Red pops more.

[Z-owned]

I find aztec red to be alittle to orangish of a red. If I wanted something like a pure red in a oem color it would be ultra red. But then again these are all just personal preferences.

Are you serious? No one posted Mike's 'Pantydropper Z32'?

[TTkickedin]

Imo I'd normally suggest a factory paint code, but red happens to be my favorite color so I'm pickier than most.

If i were to respray in a red, i'd be forced to choose Porsche L31B, Mars Red. If not, CRP will be adequate.

I would, however, like to see someone paint a Z with L30C, Malaga red

[DCaff300ZX]

I myself have never owned a red car nor wanted one at all, and I still feel that way because I don't feel that CRP is "red", which is loud and brassy IMO.
CRP's just a more classy color, and especially on the Z32.
I get a little wet every time I walk up to mine...

[zswap0429]

Not sure if you found your red or not. But I personally like the red that the scion fr-s comes in. Well thats second to the Crpz
