the best way for you is to go to a NAPA or something, and tell the guy what works in the paint dept you want to see his catalogue. I don't know there, but here they work with Dupont so he'll give you a nice catalogue with alot of colors, with the year and brand of the car... you then choose the one you want.. there you go

Reds don't really do it for me, they just don't get deep...
GM WA 9075 early 90's Lumina Euro...pretty bright
Current GM truck WA 9260
8774 is ok but if you're looking for that wow, IMHO that ain't it.
Porche mars red is great for show.

reds dont go deep eh? Look at Kandieds ol' 91z, deepest red Ive ever seen
Kandied's car is awesome...BUT, it is a pearl paint or tri-coat, you're talkin' a different scenario.
I was referencing a true red, no metallic, no pearl, no candy, no frills, no nothin', just RED.
While a perfect red paintjob can be amazing, and, while it can be perfected (buffed and polished) to have the best gloss and shine, it really doesn't go anywhere.

The brightest red I've personally seen iss PPG Flame Red
I used PPG torch red since we already have 2 cars in the family that are flame red, but the torch red is border line bright red/almost getting into the orange hue.
Ford Vermillion red that's on my 95 F-150 is probably the best looking actual red I've seen next to the Flame red. It's very bright red that is also deep as well. If I were to ever paint another car red it would be the vermillion red for that fact.

My 98 Trans Am is 81U (bright red), they have been using that color forever. Looks great! It was also called flame red/bright red/etc.
