Looking for a DARK metallic red color

I am repainting my flame metallic red/silver 87 TA and am looking for a very dark red, one which will look almost black in the shadows, but in the sunlight have a nice metallic red glimmer to it.

The only thing I've even seen is Inifinity AX4 (Merlot) which they use on the new SUV's.

GM dark metallic cherry red is too light for my taste.

Any suggestions?

my candy apple red gets pretty dark and light......it also depends on how much candy you spray on - you can virtually go as dark or as light as you want
