Default Is this stock Garnet Red ?

Alright my car is Garnet Red (supposedly) but it looks purple in person. I would love to repaint mine to get that orange glow in the sunlight.

thats pretty much what the color on mine looks like




florescent compared to natural sunlight will make it look a lot different sometimes as you can see in these pictures.

Hmmm, I see some potential for a flat, splitter-type bottom, kinda like this crappy MS paint thing
