Anyone Know This Specific Color?

I stumbled across this video on youtube and dear lord is this a beautiful car! I am mesmerized by the paint. I know it says in the comments it's candy apple red but I haven't seen a CAR paint job that was quite so dark before. It just looks fantastic. Let me know if anyone is familiar with this car and this specific paint.

I was interested in that car's color aswell. I was told it was a kandy red. I think it looks that dark due to the lighting in the room it is in.

Here is the post I created about it a couple of weeks ago. There is some input from others in there.

candy color gets darker the more coats are applied.

Looks like the factory paint with a lot of clear. It resembles my paint job but his is a little better clear coat wise. He could use a new overflow tank and windshield reservoir. Nice car
