Thanks guy's! I had forgot about using a darker primer. But what would you use a dark grey or black? When painting a wall we use a dark grey to get the true color or less coats of paint( when painting red). Some people suggest mixing in the color with the primer?? Is there any since to this either? I really don't necessarily want it to pop out (brightness) but to just look deeep! I have a Fastback painted 66 Candy Apple Red and it's just right all the time except at night. It tends to get a little maroon in color. I have looked at all these websites and it's impossible to tell on the computer. I have been to car shows and dealerships galore! I know I picked the most expensive color too! I like the torch red and viper red too, but sometimes they are to orange also... I saw a BMW and don't laugh, a Volkswagen Bug, that both had a really deep red too. If someone would ask, I don't think I could tell them the correct answer! Thanks, Matt.
