The issues with using automotive paint is that it can still vary. A paint shop could hit it with one extra coat and become a different shade. Not to mention there can be slight differences in color even with paint codes. Hopefully someone gets a paint code that you can get close to what you want.

Thanks. What I got out of everyone here is this is top secret info only option were gunna give u is to send ur lights to some guy you dont know with 8 posts half way across the country and pay him to do it when all i was asking was for a paint brand or paint code. I just want it for a basic idea.

Your local paint shop, if they are good, should know how to do this and what product to use.. It's just red candy paint.. The more coats the darker it will be.. There are many brands and colors, but usually the general consensus is that house of Kolors is the top brand, but again, PPG, BASF, and DuPont are all quality paints.. Candy apple red is the most common color, but they have others to there.. Candy fire engine, candy bright red.. Literally hundreds of colors.. Your local shop should have a decent size swatch to browse through.. Other wise go to a different shop..

Thanks for sharing

Both amazing upgrades. It's great how versatile this car is. Really allows you to customize it to fit your personality.

Well done to both of you!

Fender liners removed on the white car?

That white car has probably near 10 000$ of work including wheel/tires/suspension right? I'm just wondering, nobody does that around here.

House of Kolor candy Apple Red will work. I believe Uk-11 is the paint code.

Now with any candy/transparent paints the color you get will wary on how the paint is laid/how many coats you do etc. You can end up with tails just right or you can end up with something way darker/lighter. It takes some practice. Which is why the paint code for candies really doesn't matter. You can apply more coats etc to make it darker.

Also if you would pm me like i told you to i can do it way cheaper than any paint shop in your area will do it for most likely. The tails need to dry and get wetsanded to get the orange peel off them. But since you seem to be stuck on your whole 8 post thing. Go ahead and overpay.

5k alone for wheels. another 3.5 give or take for air suspension. you are near the 10k mark.

He's not the only one.

Your sig freaked me out. I literally thought there was a fly on my screen, and when I tried to touch it, I thought it somehow got underneath my screen.

I've been awake for too long.

Lower is always better... Exhaust is coming soon, other projects needed attention more than making my daily louder.

Yes, the red one looks proper and IMO so much better

The choice on wheels too... the stepped lip and the rivets on the Rotiforms (dont know much about those wheels.. just looked them up and noticed at least they are forged) just looks too heavy and clumsy for a sports coupe.. the VIP'd look is only for luxury 4 door sedans IMO.

the red one looks proper and sporty.

No "Hellaflush" here, just buying wheels and putting them on the car... There is no "proper" when it comes to what wheels go on a car, it either looks good or doesn't, which is completely subjective... We happy to really like 3-piece and deep lipped wheels on any kind of car, I just bought my wheels because I wanted a simpler setup.

Hellaflush hellaflush hellaflush... Neither of these cars are even flush.

I told you, there's no paint code... It's spray paint with automotive clear.

You don't want VHT quality, but these tail lights are basically VHT quality.... Hmmmmm.

Try about half of that... The wheels and air setup were purchased used.

I really dislike the white car. Yes, there is "too much low"

Of course this is entirely my opinion.

I think cars look ridiculous when the wheel well drops over the tire (and worse, over the wheel). It makes it look sloppy.

Furthermore, too much drop is just not practical.

the red one is so sick
