Picking some brains.....

What about a light sanding with a darker red mixed with clear over the current red?

Darker reds that do not have a blue in them seem to be quite popular around here-on base everyone with a government job seems to drive a REAL NICE new car-the dark red is extremely popular.
Pearls always make the blues pop, why not that scheme on a dark red?

what I like is something just a little bit darker than 1968dartman 's dart picture posted above. I don't care for the almost chevy orangish reds or maroons

look at the color charts that house of kolor lists, those are amazing colors!

if you have not painted before-the guys here are adamant about a few practice runs

and prep & cleaning are next to GODliness and stuff
