Definitely rapid red. Looks different based on light.

Definitely Velocity Blue. It looks different, depending on lighting.

velocity blue is nice, but it’s still blue in all lighting. Rapid red looks pinkish in very bright sun light, or purple in overcast light, as well as just about every shade of red

Is "my car looks pink in the sun" really what you want to go with ?

I’m not surprised that’s what you read and stuck with. There is a difference between pink and pinkish, seeing as how pink is in the red family. In plain English, in direct sun the color becomes a very very bright red.

I really like how posting photos of the broad range of colors rapid red appears in different lights turned into a my color is better than yours, but hey, at least we both look better than magnetic which is always the same dull color.

You're taking this way too personally . I mimicked your post style because I thought it was fun to show the different shades.

Also Magnetic shifts depending on the lighting as well. My friend's car looks like champagne in bright light. That's just a characteristic of metallic paint jobs. They shift tone as the light strikes them differently.

Velocity is a 3-tone pearl. I get purple tones as well as the green end of the color range (turquoise, aquamarine, cyan, etc.). Under sodium lamps, it gets an amazing deep cobalt tone. With just the right light level, it will look in a way which I can only describe as "glowing black". The pearl tones are still radiating white light, but the car looks deep black.

Everything I have found about velocity blue shows it being a base coat/clear coat paint that just has a heavy metallic flake, not a tri coat. Tri coat paints usually cost extra which velocity blue doesn’t, which also leads me to believe it’s a normal bc/cc paint. The tri coat part is why twister orange and rapid red are an extra cost paint.

I don’t care if you mimic me, if you think I’m taking it personally you’re mistaken sir. It’s a paint color, every body prefers something different.

You're taking MIk too seriously.

That's just a characteristic of LIGHT

fixed that for ya lol

Lightning Blue is the best!

Velocity blue imo. Rapid red isn't far behind, but red sports cars are a bit too provocative to local law enforcement.

Magnetic = blue and then red last (ive had too many red cars) All look great though honestly.
