Here you go. This is 2000 Viper Red. It changes in different light conditions. Sometimes it will look a little orange and other times it will rip your eyes out it is so red.

Here's mine. suppose to be PP1 but seems brighter
Sweet you have the exact same car as I do.. minus the top ha! Mine is supposed to be PP1 but PPG can't make it so I was thinking R6 instead... looks pretty close. Yours does look bright but looks fantastic!

I assume that is also PP1? What paint line did you use?

Mine is PPG and is paint code PP1...who said they can't mix it? Mine is pretty darn close to the original. My painter got samples of Sherwin Williams, Dupont and PPG, and PPG was the closest. Find a paint shop that has a spectrometer. Go to my site and you will see more pics of my car for a better look at the color.
Hey man, I am wondering how you got PPG to mix a "correct" PP1.... been a painter for 10 years and PPG can't make it in DBU or DBC... Omni line can mix it or Dupont in single stage.... Been using some Sikkens chips and spray out cards but nothing they have is close either.
If you get a chance to talk to your painter see what paint he used and if you can see if he can get a mix ratio for you? PPG won't make some colors due to them being "rarely" used... that's why the offer it in the Omni line... I am guessing he just found a chip that was close to your original and used that...
Depends on coverage. I have painted completes with as little as two quarts (un-reduced) but with engine bay, jambs, and exterior I would guess around a gallon and a half un-reduced. I hope you got clear with that price... otherwise you got hosed! Lucky for me being an ex body man painter my family owns a pretty large body shop so I get paint at cost and such. Yay for me! And I know the guy mixing it... (my dad) so it will always be consistent.

Ab, your posts and site have been an inspiration to me. Thanks for your hard work. You've showed me that a guy with two hands can do that good of work just by paying attention to detail. Hey, I have two hands as well!
I plan to get the 73 Dustpan into this same color.

Inferno Red Crystal Pearl- RH/ARH is the code it says, Not sure if it's correct but it can be found in any body shop book.

Yeah he probably did use something close. But it is really close. To get exact, a spectrometer on the underside of the trunk or you might need another car that has PP1 and that should be able to find the correct hue, chroma, and value of the red your looking for. Then they can mix it with modern colors. You just can't get the original toners.
I'll see if I can get a breakdown for you. I still have the touch up paint.

Thanks everyone for showing such nice cars! redfastback... if you could get a mix that would be awesome... My car was media blasted before I bought it so there isn't enough area for them to use a (profit) scanner... Already went that route but just not enough paint left on the car for that. I was thinking about also just having them mix it into omni, doing a spray out card... then having them scan that and find a mix or chip in current ppg that matches. Funny how they can't mix PP1 but you go to 69 and they can mix R6 no problem.

Someone just painted a barrcuda a lexus red color here, forget who by now but definitely worth checking out, not a mopar color but extremely inpressive color to all.

www.carpaintonline.com can get it in DBU. Let me get my formula. He told me that 71483 is an interior color and 71433 is an exterior color.
Thanks for checking into that man, I am seeing 71483 should be exterior PP1

car paint shows they have it but I don't see where they list it in dbu? Just their (cheap) paint lines.

Not PP1 but almost. Cherry red, a Peugote color from 92-93 I believe.
Did change that homemade exhaust system the last weekend to a TTI x-system with Flowmasters 50-series mufflers. Gave me a nice rumble.
