Default Which red would look best on the SC
So Im trying to decide on a future color to paint my new to me garnet red pearl sc400. I have looked over many versions and have narrowed it to two colors. Ironically both are OEM lexus colors.

One is Matador Red Mica (photo is from member timeToy is-F) and the other is Nobel Spinel Mica (photo from from member Gojirra99 ls460l)

Anyway what do yall think, if your not feeling it post up another color so i can see it!

Did 3R7 back in '08, it is a 3 stage - shop wanted a lil bit more from me. Very close to Garnett, just a bit darker with gold flakes, glows under the sun, a deeper red at night. Do a search of my threads using 3R7, have a bunch of pics around here.

I'm sure you've seen xknowonex"s SC. He has a Matador Red Mica Shine Kit SC, it looks perfect. I think you'll make your decision after you see his pictures.

Here's how 3R7, noble spinel mica looks like on my 400:


I wanted a deep red that didn't look orangey under the sun like the garnett pearl red. I wanted one that glowed gold flakes during the day and just a dark red at night. I love the color, I can't believe I haven't seen another sc here that used this LS460 paint code.
