So here is my problem. I have owned this car since technically before it rolled off the assembly line. For a LARGE portion of its life it was my daily driver and spent most of its time outside in the South Louisiana sun.
To say the least, the paint is done. From a distance it still looks decent, but the roof, A and C pillars, and the hood are laser pink.
My problem is that the original color, Laser Red, is now made in a two stage paint. From what research I have done, it is not the same.
I’m not ever going to enter the car in any type of car show that grades originality, so that’s not a concern.
I just want to see what everyone thinks about possibly painting this car in the newer Ruby Red color. When I see cars driving with it in the sun, it looks like the Laser Red did on more of an overcast day. I definitely like it, and I feel like it’s the closest current color to what the car stated as. I do feel like it’s darker overall, but not so much that it would be shocking.
That’s me convincing myself. What do you guys think?
