Show me your red 'vettes!
My '81 is headed to the painter next week, and I'm having trouble picking a color. It was originally red, and since we don't want to jamb it, it's going back red once more. But I don't know what shade I want. Originally, I'd thought about the same shade as my 99 GMC pickup. It's a good, deep red. Not to orangey. Now we're leaning towards a metallic, but all the metallic reds I've seen are more maroon than red, at least to me. We found a Ford Laser Red Metallic that looked really nice in the sun, but still pretty maroon otherwise. But I'm not sure I want a Ford color on my Chevy

So line 'em up! Let me see what you all have and hopefully I'll be able to make up my mind and get this thing back out on the road!
