If you do this, whether it be for paint or powdercoating of parts, go to the paint shop/powdercoating shop on a sunny day and look at the chips outside in the sunlight. Everything looks different in sunlight compared to any type of interior light in a building.

I have Victory Red. If properly applied and polished it is rich derp and has a glow about it.
It will make the Fiero red look like it is dull.

My Fiero is Medium Red Metallic and it is crazy how it photographs differently depending on which camera I use. My P&S renders it as more of a brown than either my real camera or my phone which make it much more reddish.

I painted my GT the factory OEM red. The original factory red turned a darker brownish red. People would actually argue with me that my Fiero was not painted the factory color. The new paints do not darken and remain bright. I would do it again.
