Well, I finished the test panels using two portable steel car ramps as the canvas. Both ramps were first covered in a neutral primer gray for uniformity. The colors were applied with a Binks bottom feed gun approximately 30 minutes apart. The Chrysler "Radiant Fire" is DEFINITELY a deeper red than the Ford Rangoon Red (which has a much more orange tint when compared side by side).
I've researched all the Ferrari colors, too. Their red, though very bright, is definitely on the orange side of the red spectrum.
I'm learning real quick that there are two camps in the "I like red" group. They either favor the bright red (orange/red) tones or the blood red (deep red) tones. It just comes down to a matter of personal taste/choice.
I have a few more domestic shades to check out, as well as the actual fire engine codes. Those are a little tougher to research.
