looking for the perfect red

sup thirdgen, i am recently putting into my 92firebird base model. and i am preping it for paint. i want a nice red paint to give the car its "fire" bird look. i dont know whether to go with a stock gm red. or a darker red. so here i turn to thirdgen for the best opinions and suggestions. so Specific red paint names and pictures are an option. im really liking this third generation carmaro/firebird uprising. and would like to be apart of it =) thanks again

Re: looking for the perfect red

One of the things that was suggested when I was trying to select a color for my car was to go to the dealerships and look at the actual cars to get a much better idea of what the cars/color really looks like. No photos or paint swatches. I even went to a few car shows. We did some custom tinting/pearl to it but that's were I found my base.(Rally Red)
