Bright reds look awful on cars usually, but I like some darker shades. Both of my Celicas are red, which needs to change. You'll take my porno-red interiors from my cold, dead hands however. I really don't like Toyota's new metallic grey. It has too much flake, like some kind of stealthy bass-boat.

Yeah, I agree on the bright reds thing, but if you don't like this color you have no soul.

I don't like the Ferrari California in red. Looks good in black.

The most horrendous paint ever applied to a vehicle, it was a one-year color on the already kinda wtf-looking Pontiac Vibe. They called it Envy, likely because the any car wearing it envies cars with non-awful paint. And I secretly wish my Vibe was that color

As an owner of a red wagon, I kinda agree. I wish it was white, or black, or blue, but not green (unless it's lime green). BUT, one of my dream cars is a Porsche guard's red air cooled turbo 911. Also, Ferrari's tend to pull off red pretty well.

gently caress you, buddy - with OEM badging and wheels, no stupid lip and black upholstery, that is my Miata. Disgruntled Bovine posted:Yeah, I agree on the bright reds thing, but if you don't like this color you have no soul. Burgundy and dark metallic reds are for old farts who want their car to look like wine because they think it makes it classy. In this case, it makes a perfectly classy car tacky.

gently caress grey cars. Buy white and show off your panel gaps with pride or a darker colour and show off all the poo poo stuck to your car. Grey is loving unacceptable. Grey is ordering a coors light because the beer menu has a bunch of beers you haven't heard of. Grey is going to buy hotdogs and getting those packs of 24 tiny stupid wieners instead of ballpark franks. Settling in for some after date sex and deciding, hey babe, hand job is fine, I'm tired. gently caress your grey car you coward. Also tan cars.

Car buyers (and therefore manufacturers) are cowards nowadays. White. Silver. Dark Grey. Darker Grey. Black. Dark Blue. Past that, you're lucky if you get red instead of beige, let alone something interesting like an orange, green, or whatever. It's crazy looking back at something like the Corrado. In 1995 you could get red, white, grey, dark red, silver, dark blue pearl, metallic black, black, burgundy pearl, MOTHERFUCKING ICEGREY VIOLET, pearl orange, aqua blue, purple, green/blue pearl, blue and green.

Why the gently caress was tan ever accepted as a good color for sedans There's one sedan that doesn't look like total poo poo in tan and that's a early 2000s mitsubishi lancer.

Small cars and sports cars look good in bright red. It rarely seems to work with larger vehicles unless they're fire engines.

There are exactly two cars I feel belong red: My Miata, and my parents' 1961 Comet. On everything else it just looks tacky and lame.

Car owners are polluting our roads with depressing hues in the name of "resale value" and "I heard you have to pay more insurance on red cars." Look at a parking lot and you see parking lot colored cars. It's shameful and every new car buyer should be hit with a plank for their desire to be so incredibly boring.

Terrible Robot posted:Umm these colors own unironically. It's a love/hate thing for me. Envy is also one of those colors that's tough to nail with a picture, it's even better/worse in person (and much less comparable to the Fiesta color everyone's always going on about). The cool/dumb thing about it is it makes grey cladding look better, the ones in that color with body-colored cladding look like poo poo. Mine's gunmetal grey with non-bodycolored cladding v  v

Take the GTI, for example: White, two greys, black, dark blue and red.

I've overheard a couple people at shows say something to the effect of "I don't normally like red but this looks really nice." Back when I had my red FD I thought I would repaint it Velocity Red when the time came. Same with the Lotus as well.

Silver looks like dogshit on pretty much every car, so it's just random chance that 50% of cars out there are loving silver. The only gray I like is the Dolphin Gray Mica on the NC Miata because it has a green hue to it:

Red can be the correct color:  The only problem is that on all old red cars the paint is faded as hell. For some reason, red seems particularly prone to fade. DoLittle fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Jun 22, 2014 |

It is more orange-y than the other BMW red colors. I agree completely. I don't know why that hint of orange makes it so much better. This car is Brillantrot and I think the Hellrot cars need more orange. DoLittle posted:Red can be the correct color: It's the single stage paint that fades way out. You can polish it and really bring it back though.

I think red also shows oxidation more prominently than other colors, it's a common thing on base/clear paint as well.

E36 Brillantrot and Helrot are pretty legit. I have the former due to age of vehicle.

The best thing about bright red cars is that they're easy to find in the parking lot. My old Accent looked kind of like this but with better wheels, and I never had trouble finding it. I also think that, when I had it nice and shiny like that, it looked pretty loving good for a cheap Hyundai. My fiance has a black Camry, and it just blends in with every other black sedan.
