DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS.
If that color truly had maroon in it as some perceive it does (to my eyes it doesn't), I'd run. A Dark Candy Apple Red as somebody stated is probably a good description...and it really lights up when the sun hits it. This color is so RICH in complexity!

Doc, that is spectacular. Might I inquire which sealant you used on the car- which ones you considered and why you chose as you did?
FWIW, I'm looking into both C Quartz Finest and Cilajet (the latter is more expensive, but longer-lasting). Thank you in advance!

Actually it is nice to see this as it shows the pattern of where the dirt is most likely to accumulate.
It was in the 60's here today so I got out and washed mine. I noticed that my license plate had a large number of tiny black spots. In my experience these become a headache when left too long, then only a clay bar works to get them off.
