Mine is Crimson Perl froma 02 Caddy Deville. It's a tri-coat so its not cheap, but really bright and has alot of depth. Here is a pic from last year after washing it. Not even waxed.

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
Garage paint by a guy I work with. Factory red, and yes I know the decal is in the wrong spot. The guy that did it had one on before I caught him.
1986, with 77k miles. This is a project my son and I did for his first car when he turns 16 on 10-14-11.

Bright red in 86 was 81U, not 74U. 74 is Dark Red Metallic. Also, Chevrolet referred to it as Bright Red, not Victory Red. Just an FYI

Re: Who has the best red paint job?
I really like the Tri-coat system until you have to try and color match it, it is based like a Kandy color. They look great and add a great amount of depth, your car is really sharp.
