same paint code as the previous color when you first bought the car? It looks different. I like the other color more, either that or im colorblind. Nicely done and good job on restoring her to life.

That was what I thought too.Maybe just the camera phone,mine kinda "bleaches" colors too.
If not,the original color did look better.
Nice job on the repair,and for saving it from the crusher.

yea both of u are actally rite its two diffrent colors. the factory original color was super red, somewere along the lines it was repainted in single stage black paint then the three stage maroon color which it was when i bought it. but i decided i wanted the original color again. plus it matches the centercaps on my wheels:icon_bigg
