    Painting a 69 camaro for a guy and he was looking for a red paint that doesn’t have any orange look to it Also looking for the brightest. Any suggestions?

    I’ll tell you guys what he has in mind after I hear a few idea’s from you guys.

    I would look at the toners for the paint system you use and see how that colour sits and shifts (face and side tone).

    red will either shift to orange or to violet. You should look for the toner that is closest to the centre of red and either just spray that toner (if it looks ok) or use a paint formula that tends to mostly utilize that toner. However, you need to think of the other 2 dimesions as well (value and chroma) to ensure the colour is bright/intense enough (saturation/chroma) and light enough (value, how black or white the colour is).

    A colour chart or colour wheel for your paint system will help a lot. Your jobber should be able to hook you up with one, or at least show you one.

    very true, i use this color for a certain taxi company and for an ambulance company. its so red it begins to mess with your eyes when spraying it.

    Even though that is a great red a ford color on a 69 camaro is wrong :sick: Why don’t you look at 1970 GM code 75 (cranberry red)it is a very deep red and not orange looking at all.There must be a ton of 70 chevelles painted that color :stoned Or gm wa 9260,porshe guards red isn’t too bad,I don’t think it is orange looking either,but it has been awhile since I have seen it.Kind of ironic that the chevelle in my avatar is code 75 :rofl
