RUBY RED S550 MUSTANG Thread

[SoleContempt]

I'd love to see a Ruby Red with the 20's. I don't think we've seen that outside of a photoshop.

Any shots of a non-50th Year Anniversary Package Ruby Red with the 18" Foundry wheels?

I've not seen one yet.

Are there any pics with the RR with the optional 19's?

On Mustang websites, the color Ruby Red is described as tinted clearcoat. What does this mean and what is the difference? Is clearcoat of higher quality? Appreciate your help.

If you build and price a Mustang on Ford's website when you choose the exterior paint color you'll notice that picking Ruby Red adds $395 or Triple Yellow $495 to the cost of the car.

Mine will be Ruby Red unless Guard looks as green in person as it does on the web in some pics. Still haven't seen one in person.

It means don't ever get in a accident. Lol. My car got hit, Candy Red Tinted Clear, and they ended up painting the entire car to get it to match because they couldn't blend it properly.

Not sure about Ruby Red, but Candy Red is a tri-coat. I was told the bottom coat is almost a gold with flake, then red, then the clear. The clear has tint in it that changes the way the light reflects through it. That's what gives the colour a lot of its depth. I believe the clear has a lot to do with how different it looks in sun vs. night.

That is pretty much how classic candy-apple red is done. It starts with a metallic gold base with tinted clear coats. The gold makes it reflective back through the tinted clear and the tinted clear give it the colour and depth, and extra clear for more depth and protection. It is impossible to repair to any decent level and very hard to even match a whole panel to the rest of the car, unless you are the one that painted it the first time and you have a very fixed process / recipe and do it a lot. Sexy stuff though!

I imagine ruby red is red metallic with a red clear-coat over it, then more clear.

I like the solid look of classic enamel paint too, beautiful stuff.

This Autoblog video might have already been posted, but it really makes my decision between Ruby Red and Magnetic that much harder:

I wish the EB could come with those optional GT 19" wheels...and now I'm fighting the EB vs. GT battle as well (not just for the wheels).
