    Respraying red...go with a different shade, or stay the same?

    So as the title states, I'm re-spraying my car in the coming month(s) and was planning on keeping it Brilliantrot, but was thinking of other choices as well. What do you guys think? Keep it Brilliant Red, or something else. I plan on staying in the shades of red, but you can convince me otherwise!

    My car: (Brilliantrot)

      Stay with Brilliantrot. A red car that is resprayed a different red just doesn't look right. It will look like they just did a shitty job of mixing the color. That's my two cents.

                Stay the same. Never change shade unless you are willing to strip and paint the whole thing inside and out. The first time you open your door you'll see a 'shade' line, and that'll just ruin it for you...

                      So I'm getting the re-spray within the next couple weeks. I'm staying Brilliant, but I was thinking of shaving the door locks as well as antenna. What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

                            I voted and made a comment before reading the thread. It was basically if you stay brillantrot you have less work.

                              Best shade of red ever.
