I think that its one of the coolest colors I've seen.

Kinda like the mystichrome of days gone by.

Kona blue is sweet also.

Anyone like or despise the Lava Red?

I was hesitant when I bought the Lava Red, and still to this day I'm not sure I love it. Some days it looks SWEET, and some days I wish I would've just got Black. The tough part with the Lava is what color do I go with if I ever decide to add a stripe.... And how will the paint match if I ever want to try a diff hood...

I feel as though Lava Red is an accent color. Something you'd use as a stripe or the top on a hotrod.

In certain photos it just looks like black that's dirty. In order to really get the benefit from the color it's got to be clean and in direct sunlight.

Otherwise it's a black car. You still have to take care of it like you would a black car, but in my opinion you don't get quite the reward of a clean black car.

I've seen it in person and it's certainly better than in photographs. I will say it's definitely a unique color. I just don't know if I could own it myself.

its a good color when the car is SPOTLESS but as soon as you get some dirt on it the flake/pearl what ever the hell they put in that paint will just magnify it and in return the dirt will make the flake/pearl look like dirt. to me its like kona blue, if you cant keep it clean it will look like butt. not too far behind them is red candy like i have and i will be the first one to say if its not kept clean it looks like shit and loses its pop.

best color.... DSG it hides everything

I think the color would have looked better if it wasn't so dark. As was said earlier in anything but bright sunlight it looks like a black car that isn't real clean. It the bright sun it looks good!!
