I've tried hundreds of pics in the sun and they all look orange . My best pics come in the shade or on over cast days . Keep trying my friend . Maybe one day . Instead of torched red , they should have called it torched orange .

Yup - red is a hard one to get right. My old SLR (read 20 years ago!) was good. Went right up to the car to set light meter, then stepped back to get the shot (plus other settings). But my point & shoot turns red cars to either orange or pink depending on the paint.

The only way I like the bowlinggreen dark metallic is with the sun hitting right where the camera is shooting. brings out the copper color against the green paint. Otherwise it just looks like a dirty black car in the shade.
But yours looks good in sun or shade
