A lot of people have been saying the paint is the same, but when my mileage was only 500, I paid a visit to a local Scion dealer who happen to have a Red FRS in the lot. I parked my Red BRZ next to the Red FRS, I noticed that my BRZ has a brighter red to it compared to the Scion.

If they truly are suppose to be the same color, then either my eyes were playing games with me, or someone at the factory screwed up mine or the Scion. I have yet to hear from other members to see if they ever did the real life comparisons themselves regarding red.

EDIT: I did swap my stock trunk with another BRZ member and the color does match, so I am guessing it really has to do with the different batch of paint that they use on the Scion.
