Infrared Tintcoat

[Finally-a-V]

@Cuse44 .......that's an interesting side by side. If I'm correct, Red Horizon is GPJ and Infrared is GSK, though I've read they are about the same. But, that's what I thought. RR looks brighter red, and Infrared trends a little deeper red. Thanks!

Trade 5BW for 4BW? Red is my favorite color!

Radiant red allowed here?

@ukcats12 Beautiful car! Nice looking color and wheel combo!

Love the black badges

Of course Radiant Red is allowed here! It's really amazing how GOOD these cars look in certain colors and certain light. Beautiful BW, but I'm biased.

@ukcats12 did you paint your chrome “blackwing” badges for the side to convert all badges to black or did you find a part number for the last couple pieces being black?

I ended up just selling all the chrome badges I had and buying 2 black sets of V/Blackwing badges from 404 parts. I tried painting them but wasn’t satisfied with how it came out. The paint wouldn’t really adhere to the edges of the badge.

Had to really hunt for this thread. LOVE this color

Radiant Red on a sunny day vs. overcast. "Radiant" is an apt description of how the paint pops in the sun. The purple tint in the full sun side picture is the reflection of the blue sky on a red car, lol.

Infrared does the same - I would love to see these two colors next to each other! So similar

My observation with RR and I’m sure it’s the same with IR is that it is nearly impossible to capture exactly what it really looks like in a picture, especially in the sun. I’m also amazed at how non-metallic and flat it can look in certain lighting and angles and how in some conditions it almost appears to glow from within.

 

[Finally-a-V]

I'd say IR has a tad of orange in it, where RR has a little pink or silver. I'd like to see them side by side too. When they're not, you really can't tell them apart. Either way, the sun makes them really pop. Love my IR!

Does anyone with an Infrared Tintcoat live around the Philly area that would want to get together sometime to line up a Radiant Red and Infrared side-by-side for comparison photos?

I have a RR 5BW.
