Getting new paint job, need opinions and input on color choice and style
I am thinking of getting my car repainted...not sure...im jtus contemplating the idea of going with a red/black theme
I am wondering what color you guys would respray the car; a custom color or a OEM color (whether it be a Mitsu color, Caddillac, any OEM color) or one of the choices above.
I will be painting the whole exterior minus the hood and trunk which i will be swapping in for CF parts. So i am thinking of possibly doing a "two tone" and having the lower part a red and the roof a black to match the CF hood and trunk. I will also be installing a EVO9 JDM rear bumper, which will be painted.
I am currently thinking of:
-A darker shade of red
-Candy Apple red
-Metallic Red off of the new Mitsu Raiders
-Stock 05 rally red paint color WITH clearcoat
-The paint color of the old AMS car
-Some other shade of red 
Different styles i am thinking of:
The pillars, roof and and part of the other panels are painted, a more 50/50 two tone. (where it is blue it would be red)
OR
(just roof painted black, with CF hood and trunk)
OR
another style

Classic, Italian red up top fading down to deep Crimson --- no metallics. Add CF hood and trunk lid. Shake well. Serves parties of 4 or 5.

keep it similar to the rally red shade so it doesnt look like a "respray" and if your feeling the whole two tone style go with the black roof.

That "Red" is also a $5K paint job from what AMS posted.

my neighbor is owns a paint shop so the cost of the paint is really only the problem. i could find a similar color to the AMS red or another dual or multi-stage paint. The AMS car was 5K because they did the WHOLE car, they had to take out the firewall, engine, interior,etc and it would cost much more than i am looking at.
Here is the Raiders Red, its a dualstage

WOW that AMS evo looks amazing! Red two tone could look great IMO, but only if the two tone is like the one on the blue evo. Also think of future buyers of your car when the time comes to sell, they may NOT want a two toned car, just a thought.
Personally...Candy Red two tone (black top/red bottom) and CF hood and trunk haha.
