Matt, Ed, and others who have seen the kiln red in person, would this new color from Mazda be close to the kiln red but with a little more brilliance?

Soul Red Crystal:

Kiln red looks like a cup of silver orange pearl dropped into a bucket of guards red

Kiln red is awesome and you couldn’t go wrong with that color but I have always been taken back with arena red. It’s one of my favorites.

"Carmine Red" appears to be a cross between colors mentioned above ^^: Would advise to view "Carmine Red" at a dealers showroom near you before pulling the trigger...looks great live.02 burnout:T

Hoi - no; that's more like a wine red, or ruby red, arena red. Not close to the kiln red. Pretty color, but I'd take kiln first, then coral second (see George M's car for coral). I'd take garnet red over the one you show, as garnet has a bit more brown in it in certain light.

There are several really distinctive reds (IMHO) that these cars love. Kiln red is certainly one of them.

My memory is that there were very few cars in that color from the factory, and it was stunning. Help an old guy remember....
Zyclamrot? Something like that anyway, if it's the car I think you are thinking of.
The one with the iconic pic with horns mounted on the hood and "unmentionables" hanging from the horns.

That's the color! The horns and dangling bits are to a specific taste that's different from mine. Focus on the color...

At the OCIC event in Texas, the zyc car was a serious standout among a large group of outstanding 928's on display. It was stunning, and I'm not particularly a red car enthusiast.

Hoi
If the car is still at GB's and ( I agree with klin red) send it over to Jesse to have him paint it. IMO he does a great job and because he paints so many 928's he knows exactly how to take them apart and put them back together. No guess work. He isn't the quickest, I think it took about 6 months for him to paint my car. His price is reasonable as well.

After seeing Andy's car on BaT, I vote for weinrot. That car is stunning.

Kiln red....after seeekng Matt’s car no comparison. The only other orange I would consider is Zanzibar (pearl orange) available for 996’s ‘01-03. That’s a little less ‘brick’ orange and more ‘bright’ orange. Could always go continental orange as well BTW, but given the GB stroker may want to be a bit more subtle?
