Metallic/Flake Candy Apple Red BDR's?
Anyone finish their car in a nice metallic/flake candy apple red?
I'm getting ready and I like the Prism Red but it has too much of a tendency to look purple in the wrong light, which I don't like... Since it'l be a while before I own my red Ferrari (like a REAL long while... :p), I think I'd like my snake to be a shiny metallic/flake candy apple red. But I'd love to see if anyone did it already and what it looks like... Thanks! -Matt |
mine's Crimson Red... an earlier color (#89). I had the same thoughts... that it tended to look pinkish/purplish in certain lights. It photographs VERY red... there appears to be a lot of silver in the base coat. I always get compliments on it tho. Actually, I would've preferred Prism Red. Everyone's taste is different...
Here it is in direct sun... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../CobraShow.JPG and in the shade... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/toy3.JPG |
Very nice!
I've seen prism Red is three different pictures and I have LOVED it in some and didn't like it so much in others. I think I need to see it in person before I can rule it out. I went to a Snake meeting last year out in PA and there was a car there I liked a lot. I don't remember who owned it so i'm left with a photo and a memory. Great people at the meeting tho. Emjoy your car. it's a beauty! -Matt |
Matt,
Are you going to see us in Atlantic City at the end of the month? I know exactly what you are saying about prism red. It can get rather dark and some of the photos alter it a bit to really skew the color. There is another color in the BDR palette called Blaze Red that is metallic and a little darker than the typical straight reds. Here is a metallic red I love, I had a car on order last year in this combo but the customer switched the color to a basic blue at the last minute, I think it would have been a knockout: http://gtcarlot.com/close-up/199088/...is_800x600.jpg Give me a call if you need anything answered. |

That Lomborghini is the funniest looking Cobra I have ever seen!!! :LOL:
I think the best thing to do is just wait until the time finally comes and then come up to Connecticut and take a looksie at what-ya-got. I can describe the color as a metallic/flake candy apple red. But if I see some paint chips I can tell in 2 secs. And yes, they where there. Lovely people! the one I was referring to wasn't a BDR. I'm still a wee bit away from thinking about taking the plunge. In this economy ya gotta be careful about luxury expenses. So I'm in pay down mode right now. But I can't wait for the day!!! -Matt |
Oh, and when is the A.C. event?

Mattnshilp,
Have you seen the Monterey Red that Backdraft is using? It is similiar as prism red, but with alot more pop in color. More flake I believe. It will be in the shop sometime next week. Very nice color. Bill |

You have to thank dmorse for the Monterey Red on BDR632:

The color is Monterey Red Metallic Tint Coat (color code 80U) and was a $750option for a limited time on the 2007 Corvette. I saw the color at a Vette show and loved it so asked BDR to paint it that color and they graciously did so. It really looks sharp with the side pipes on. I also had a ghost stripe painted but the stripe doesn't show up very well in photos. I haven't figured out how to post a photo on CC or would send the few I have with the car complete. I saw a candy apple red replica at the last Carlisle show but don't remember the manufacturer. I liked it better than the color I have.
