Default NFR or custom red?

ok so i've decided to re-paint my entire car b/c i'm tired of seeing new rock chips on my hood and front bumper, as well as the imperfections throughout my car. imo honda factory paint is crappy and i don't just want to repaint my hood and bumper and have it not match the rest of the car, i'm anal about that stuff. with that being said i'm trying to decide whether to keep the new formula red or get a deeper red like milano or something...what would you guys do?? thanks.

I have always liked red with metallic in it. The NFR is just too flat for me. I think the Japanese and European version has a metallic red called Monzo. Check that out.

The way that I see it is that if you're going to spend all that money to repaint the car you might as well make it a custom color to seperate your car from the rest that came from that factory in that color.

I agree if Iwas going to paint it, then I would go with a new custom color. I think red with metallic flakes looks good, or I really like a pearl red, or white

Go 1/2 custom. What I am going to do if my car ever needs a repaint, is paint it New Formula Red Pearl. Paint it the same color, just add pearl to it.
