Well, it's another one of those "I can't decide" threads about paint. My car was just trailered away to the paint shop last night, and I have to drop off a deposit on Thursday (tomorrow). I have a 1ga Talon, that I'm converting to an EDM Eclipse. I already have a set of folding mirrors, and a full set of lights (front, rear, and corner). I also was able to get my hands on a front and rear lip for the N/T bumpers (but yes my car is AWD Turbo ). Anyway, I'm sure a lot of people have seen this picture before:

That's basically what my car will look like, except I'll have the Talon wing and EVO VIII rims.

I'm looking to keep my original paint scheme (red and black). The car will look similar to this in the rear:

I'm making the roof, wing, and the door side trim black, so it wraps around the entire car with the N/T bumpers.

Now the big question, "What color red should I go with?". I'm looking for something a bit darker than the original color, but not too dark, because I want the black to contrast the car nicely. Any suggestions? Please provide pictures of the color you're suggesting too.

A coworker recommended House of Color Kandy Brandywine like one of the AMS shop EVO's.

AND PLEASE DON'T CLUTTER THE THREAD WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PARTS, PM ME.
