Im will start the painting process of my car next week (jambs) and really need help find the right red. I will have a base color of wimbledon white (like before) and will be going with red stripes (like before) but I can not remember if I used rangoon red or candy apple red. I looked at the paint chips at the local paint supplier but they are so old that they are not a good reference. The candy apple in his book looked really dark but I thought it was the color I used for my stripes. Could you guys explain the color differences between the two with some pics please.

Do you guys think I should use the wimbledon white or a more pure white?
Any ideas on the colors of this car?

Ill try and post a pic of my car in a little while when I can get to a computer with it on it.
