Not unless they plan to make a fleet of cars for Mary Kay cosmetics.

I think there is a hair too much blue (pink) over the sample fender. Take a little blue out and you're close.

I thought Mary Kay likes Caddies. I think we're safe for now.

Tweaked as per your suggestion. Both pics I have of the fender look pinker, though.

For 2008, the gas filler location varies with paint color.

Crystal Red (89U) has been available on Cadillacs and Buicks the past couple of years. My dad has a Buick Lucerne that color.

I believe another forum member nailed it earlier with all the hyperbole around the 2008's. Find a 1980 Corvette on eBay with Claret Red and you pretty much have nailed down the color. My roommate in college had a 1980 Corvette in Claret Red with a matching color interior and it was a nice color combination.

Pictures have never gotten it right. You have to see the colors in person.

I don't drive a red car, but I've never seen a red autombile color I didn't like.

Monty Red is the Sh*t!! I love that color. If I was to do it over again I'd have gotten that instead of black. Too bad they are not makin it anymore.
