Digital photography doesn't really show the magic of Monterey Red, here's the best photo I have though:


It looks better in real life and natural lighting conditions.

Default No pics do it justice

I have yet to see a pic that does MMRed justice and I have seen a lot of pics on CF. I think Steve Miller's pics in this thread are some of the best I have seen, BUT, after washing the car this weekend and seeing it in person vs. a pic, , , well let's just say pics don't come close. I have tried taking pics with a high-end camera in the sun but still have not been able to capture the true color of the car (I am not a professional photographer, I'm not even a so-so one).

I was lucky to see one before I ordered mine, dealer rolled it out in the sun and I was hooked, I don't think that car even had Zaino on it. Now after 2 coats of Zaino and a fresh bath, the MMRed looks incredible.

Dang, I should tell my boss that I'm feeling ill and should go home. MMR C6 therapy (washing or waxing) always works for me.

Fredo Starr, your car is beautiful. But the first picture of it looked like my Mag red 2005. The light sure makes a difference since Monterey red is much darker than Magnetic red.
