Porsche Guards Red ? Caddy Passion Red ? Ford Ranger Red ? would any of them look good on an older Car like my Daughters ? Pics are a must !
 
I have seen one in the past that the owner said was Coke Cola red and thought it looked right. Not bright and not dark.
 
I had a Lancia Volumex in "Rosso Corsa" red. I had a modified 944 that was "Guards" red- like the Lancia/Ferrari red better. You can look it up via Bing or Wikipedia
 
V-100 that has to be one of the Top contenders ! Just looked it up and it is GREAT ! Thanks for the Input !
 
RED, whichever version you like,
they will all cost much more than White.:(

I always liked TorRed.

Viper red ,sweet color.Check out PPGs "Spectre red".Has a bluish-purplish hue,compared to tomato red ,or orange toned colors.Pops against chrome trim.
 
I when i got my cuda it had been painted a red/orange color from a 68 Mustang! I know its not a mopar color but it looks good. see my profile pic
 
Sat down with my painter and gave him a few diff.ideas and told him to pick what looks good in his eyes because he does it for a living and what I ended up with was somthing I would call "Snap on Toolbox Red" Pretty Cool in my Book !
 
My old painter friend (painted an *** load of cars in the 70s) told me that every red car he did a complete on got International Harvester Red.

Sure the customer may have asked for some Porsche red or whatever but they all got International Harvester Red. lol

And they were all happy and clueless. He said he liked the IH red because it was a bulk paint that looked good and was easy to match.
