Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
It seems, from what I see and hear, that Viper Red is the current red of reds. It used to be Porche Red before Vipers. That bright red upholstery seen in 67-72 era trucks is sure fire bright red

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
I just googled Trucks painted Torch red, got a lot of 67-72 trucks. Sport trucks article, and various other colors and combinations thrown in.

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
Loving the Model A!!
Duece grille and fenders? The SBC is great for every day, but a 59AB would sound better.

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
I considered the body paint section first. I took a look over there to see if it was a happenin place haha!
From the looks of things I was thinking this would be a better shot. Even though this part of the board has been wallowing for awhile. So far the listed colors are ones Ive already taken note of. I was just hoping there was something even more eye searing than these. I think I read something about body guys using red toner, but not being a paint or body guy I had no idea what they were talking about.

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
Question for the Real Painters on here. A friend of mine suggested I paint a white base coat before painting Orange on my Truck. Would Red react like that because it made the Orange on his POP in the Sunlight.

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
I know how many coats will depend on final colour. I have heard a few old guys say that bright yellow base under red will make it pop but I think I've sprayed red only a handful of times and haven't tried it

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint

I am a firm believer in White primer under Red paint. Some people poo-poo it but I think it makes a difference in the outcome. Here is my '39 Ford Coupe painted Matrix Cherry Red and the Red/White '71 Chevy truck. The Red on the truck was called "Safety Maintenance Red" and the White is '56 Chevy "India Ivory". LockDoc

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
The new f150 has a very bright red, loud enough on the eyeballs I took a second look at it.

Re: Sear your eyeballs red paint
Saw a 2016 Dodge Dart today, it was a really nice red. Turns out it was a rental so the driver didn't know anything about it.
