Really, really, really loved that color. However, it was a major pain in the ass to keep clean. I would wash and wax it, then drive it once, and you could almost immediatly see the most subtle layer of dust and road grim along the lower edge of the car and the hood and roof. It completely changed the look of the paint. I washed that car every weekend. Probably why I'll avoid bRed.

But if you have a garage and love washing your car, go for it. It is probably right up there with black for beautifully difficult paints.
First thing I'm going to do is paint correction, ceramic coat and PPF. Yeah, its expensive but it was one of the best things I did to my S2k that kept it looking that good for so long... with minimal maintenance by me.
