this winter hopefully my car is gonna get somewhat stripped, im gonna put on a cervinis 3.5" cowl hood, and its gonna get repainted......i'd really love to paint it laser red, but its really really really expensive for body shops to paint because its a 3-step paint (orange base, red tint, clear)....anyway i came up woth the genious idea yesterday to spray my car electric red which is a ford color (whats on my dad's chevelle below)....its close enough to laser red that i wont have to re-shoot all my jambs and engine bay, and is a 2 step so its cheaper to spray....in fact my dad painted his chevelle, so we mioght just paint mine ourselves if we can rent a booth.....anyway does anyone know teh paint code for this color, and do you guys think this would be a good idea?? i think its a gorgeous color

Paint Code: EG

It is a clear coat metallic finish..... I put it on the last Ranger I had. Closest I could find to Wild Strawberry. I think they may be the same thing, though.

Cool color. I love laser red but under overcast skys the color just doesnt do it for me, in the sunlight or at night it looks cool but yeah...I was thinking of repainting a similar color as well. that looks good.
