Help me choose a red color
Guys, I need help. I will repaint my car soon and still cannot decide which color it should get. For sure it has to be red. But which one? So many out there.
Please help me and post pics of your red car. Thanks a lot!

Hard to beat Ruby red if you want a factory 928 color on early cars or Arena red (which may have been used on a few GTS's)... I love both of those colors! Guards red is a classic. What year car are you painting???

It´s a 89 S4 5 Speed. With sportseats and LSD, without sunroof. So it's a quite "sportive" Version and I first thought of Indisch-red but I'm not sure if I don't get fed up with it fast. I realy like ruby red but wouldn't want to have it on my car. I thought of coral red or something. Anybody got some good pictures of a red car (great would be without the side molding - as it changes the cars style quite a lot)

I think this is the best red there is it would look pretty good with your interior.
Its called Cyclamen Red Metallic
If you have a great painter this color absolutely pops in the sun,
its dark almost black then turns to a dark cherry then a lighter dark red depending on how the sun hits it

I love the 2001-2002 Zanzibar Red. Its really red in name only but regardless its a red.
I think there are way to many Guards Red Porsches in general, if you have a chance to repaint a car and want something memorable, forgo Guards Red, the world has enough GR Porsches.

Your interior maybe a tough match honestly, its not my first choice in interior colors, but it looks like its in great condition, so I would obviously try and pick a red that will compliment your interior. Im not sure it would look good with the color I posted above.

That's a stock Porsche colour?
(Not that it matters).
Anyone have the codes for that?
