What is the REAL name for my car's color?
I know this is a factory color, but I'm having trouble figuring out the name of this color. Some call it dark red metalic, and some call it flame red metalic. Does anyone know the official color?

On a Camaro, it's called Dark Red Metallic. The Flame Red is Pontiac's name for the same color. Unfortunately, when looking for a repaint, you will need to ask for Flame Red Metallic because that is what everyone calls it today. The paint code is 74U, WA8748 822.
