Default PPG
PPG lists a lava red pearl for Nissan.
Was searching colors and just vetting some ideas.
Also like the blue above the lava as well.

Octane Red on the new Challengers is pretty sweet as well.

How about the stock Solar Red '68 Color. Nice color and you'll have no negative comments about non-stock color! Look at my Son-in-Law's which we finished in 2016.

Do yourself a favor....and spray base color for coverage ...let flash with good air movement for 1 hour ....then Clearcoat....probably 4 coats of clear ,if you plan on a cut and buff. Don’t sand the base then clear...even if it’s a solid color....TRUST ME....I just saved your hinney.

Thanks. I am in no way a paint guy.
I may not have understood the process he explained
As I was staring at my car.
