    Hey guys,

    I need your advice on what red paint to get. I want to do a nice metallic red. Base/clear. Any brands that you would recommend?

    I ordered some house of kolor meteor maroon 2 and it should be in the end of this week. I will be spraying some practice panels and will post some pictures if you would like to see it in the sun.

    Have you checked on any prices on any red’s yet? If not be prepared to spend a lot. Seems to be the most expensive color to have mixed. Cheapest I’ve seen so far was in the Nason line and it was around $40 a qt but not sure about coverage. Once you step up to Dupont and any other reputable name brand you are looking at around $200+ a qt.

    Yeah Ive been pricing out a bunch of different brands and what not. What does anyone think about Firethron red pearl from TCP Global? Or Candy apple red metallic from paintforcars.com? Both base/clear. The firethron red is more expensive, but I think I like it a bit better.

    What about Ford Ruby Red with tinted clearcoat?
