Photoshops are welcome i have a nice one done already by urban96(thanks alot) which made me decide on this color. If anyone has any other ideas on types of REDS let me know... but as of right now im looking at HOK Kandy apple red. Anyone know where to buy paint like this online and what ill need to buy. i think ill need a silver or gold base then the candy coat... i have to order soon my engine bay is ready to spray! Ill also be needing a decent gravity feed gun any recomendations???




i think this is close in color to the photo shop:

It'll be beautiful....question comes what headlights? My gut is telling me smoked...as clears will be too bright on that dark red with the black top.

i think it could go either way... clears off set the cobra R's nicely... and id add some billet interior parts.... but ive always loved the smoke look im torn right now...

Problem is...clears look white to me. Especially on dark cars. The right smoked lights still are "shiny" enough to go with the chrome wheels...

Hope nik doesnt mind....



But see what i mean? The lights are smoked...but the housing is still chrome. So i think it will still allow the cobra wheels to match. IF you had a white top...i'd say clears. But with the black top...smoked all the way.

That's just the reflection of the housings hitting him in the face lol.

Nik I like the looks of your car WITH the smoked and shinys. Sometimes we look too far into it.

The only red Mustang I would ever have is Redfire Metallic... Hopefully I'll get a redfire cobra after college

due to price and easy paint matching im going with the redfire metallic... just talked to the paint guy today... $80ish for everything needed to spray the bay... depending on how it turns out i might do the car??? anyone have any other options for a stock dark red??? laser ish...


anyone have pics of a 94-98 in DRFM (g2)

i think someone had a pic of their laser red next to a red fire cobra... if someone has that it would be awesome
