It look svery red.
Difficult to say more.
The opened door in the ast picture appears to be suffering from orange peel, or is that just the photo being misleading?
Any chance you could make some close-up shots?

The car looks good in red. Hard to judge quality from these pics but it looks good. I will agree that the open door might look orange peel but the door glass has the same light and shadow look so it may not be.
One curious question as my car has it also. Wher the front bumper meets up with the hood on the driver side is low. Is this something that can be fixed (before I paint) and how would that be done.

Looks good!
I'd love to get my car freshened up with some new paint, but there is a laundry list of other things to be done to it first.
Did you paint it or a shop?

Yeah the orange peeling look is because of the light.
A shop painted it for me, I dont know how to fix the bumper and looks that the guys in the shop didn't knew how to fix it aswell.

Looks good. I'm hoping to paint my 88 Formula late summer. Was the whole car painted as is or was it taken apart and painted separately?
