Refire versus Candy Apple Red

1162 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Preston951
I just bought something prepainted for my 2006 redfire. The color is slightly darker. I'm wondering if they painted it 2008 candy apple red. Can someone confirm that candy apple is darker than redfire? :headscratch:

Thanks!

No, DCAR is slightly lighter than Redfire. Almost like a mix between Torch and Redfire... With metallic flake.

Looks like they messed up! :so
Nope, it can't be DCAR. That color wasn't introduced until 2008. What you have is a Redfire that was maybe garaged so it has less fade.

Or was just recently painted.
Did you guys read the OP?
If its not DCAR, can the color be that far off?

My car is garaged, so I expect it has little if any fade. I've got other parts painted and they matched spot on.

Wow, neither of you read the original post, did you? :nono:

Who pre-painted this for you? That's the most important question to answer now...
