i'm looking to add some spice to the color my car is going to be painted, It's going Rallye Red which is a Honda color.

Thinking of a silver flake like this

Anyone else have any other ideas

All red paints fade more quickly than other colors. I'm not a fan of red anyway.
I'd go with a dark blue, grey, black, or dark orange.

my brother has a car base colour black and rainbow effect specks..... the car looks insane but attracts way too much attention and can no longger be used as a daily driver.

my car gets tons of attention but its ok i guess. People try to guess the color.. "blue.. pink? purple?"

well car is typically show anyway so the attention doesn't bother me...i was just looking for other options like maybe a silver pearl versus a falke or if somone has a different color pearl/flake idea to throw out there

I would choose a more subtle metallic than a right out there silver flake

Do bright red with GOLD chameleon or gold pearl...oo that would look NICE . Paint shops will say its impossible..basically u spray the flat red on it and then spray the chameleon.. they will tell you chameleon is only for metalic colors. LIES just make sure the person knows how to spray . Theres alot of funky combinations you can make. Im not digging the sparkles.

Somthing like this essentially.

yes yes except that needs a bit more chameleon , that seems like gold flakin g.. but yup almost got the same color iw as talking about.

Candy Apple Red is a very nice color and will get lots of attention and it would probally look really nice on a MX-3.

Sorry i couldnt find a better picture, all the ones on google and yahoo are either poor quality or bad photographs

personally i really hate that red flake paint color. i would chose something darker. however i do like the candy apple red. looks good. but thats a pricy paintjob with all those layers.

The flake in there is ghetto. You're driving an MX3, not a 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood with a landau top.

Go with a pearl.
