Candies are tough to paint and expensive, base clears are not much tougher than solids to paint but not near as tough as candies. I would go with a base clear. Go down to the local paint shop and look through the books. I use DuPont paint and have a ton of chips that might fit your needs. Look at a 91 color called brilliant red B8947 DuPont code, then go from there, the 89 means its an actual 89 color. There are also some tri coats that are easier to paint than candies that will get a close candy look, but be prepare to pay. The factory uses tri coats on some models.

Both of your suggestions interest me but the easier the better. This is the first time for bodywork and paint. I got a sample of Flame red from Dupont it's way to orange. The car is very close to paint and I really need to make a decision. I will check on the brilliant red next week. How hard are tri coats to paint? We are willing to pay for the right color but if it's out of my league i may stick to something simple?

I did use a solid color it's a Bright Red base/clear coat code E4 Vermillion red.

First time painting. I sure have learned allot and I also have a new respect for the time an effort people put into body and paint not to leave out color sanding and polishing.
