Red and white makes it look like a barber pole or a candy cane... Here comes Santa Claus...,

Red is a difficult color to accurately reproduce on computers and red paint samples can fade significantly if left in the sun. If your planning on going with a modern paint system finding a late model car in the red of your dreams is the most accurate way to go. Then make yourself available at the paint shop the day they paint so you can approve the color as it is mixed.

//\/\ /\ Many older red paints did not come with a clear coat. The Iron in the paint heats up and fades easily in many forms. Water base clearcoats make this much worse for cars that are outside most the time. I have painted " Soul Red" . It is what's called a " tri - coat" paint. Some call it " Kandy" as it has a tinted clearcoat. This paint works well in national rule top coat and offers excellent UV protection. The water-based version is not so good with UV.
Some, not all, Ceramic coatings have additional UV protection. UV has been the worst enemy of Red.
Oh, I have never seen a HORIZONTAL Barber shop sign.. I like the red/ white contrast AND a Cooler car.

I've got a gd sample of the original Montero red under the door weather stripping if I'm going red pretty sure I'm going to I'd like to match that it's not a very bright/shiny red can that color and finish be made in a base/ clear ?

Montero red is available from Martin Senor paints. I have mine mixed at local NAPA. this is a national rule base. USA a high solids euro clear for a very deep shine

All right guys you convinced me Red with the white top kinda did it backwards, built the car and now painting it couple photos.

Very cool, hit us back later with what details you wanna post like shop hours and total price. These days the body shop world is so much different post Covid. I'm about to paint my 91 Eagle Talon and it's pretty insane what that little car is gonna cost. Quotes for my 69 GTO body alone were near $20k, only fender patches and possible rear quarter swaps, the frame restoration adds mega bucks on top of that. Damn

I'm picking away it with a buddy of mine. I got a sticker shock on the paint though. A gallon of ppg deltron his cost $1100

Well it's red I just got done changing all the glass. It was pretty scratched up. I went with the gray tint I always liked the green tinted AC glass, but figured the gray would look better with the red.I really like it trying to decide on some wheels and tires. I'm thinking about 17 rally 2's
