Ok I am gonna need a respray due to some tossers damaging my car. She is currently in JDM 13 year old red paint so its a good time for a respray. I don't want JDM red paint again but cannot afford a different colour. So the question is which red to change too? Different manufacturer or shade? Suggestions please.....

What about Toyota paint code 3P0 - not sure if it's the same on the Supra but that's the pain code for the red used on the old Lexus IS, it looks nice when clean :)

 

The new one is nice as well and that is paint code 3R1

Was going to say that, is that the House of Kolor stuff?

 

One of the lads I know wanted that but it's a fortune, he ended up going with Kawasaki Red as used on the bikes, that is very similar and loads cheaper.

 

In fact might even be worth looking into that mate?

To fully paint a supra's exterior in House of kolor candy apple, the paint will cost you £400. Silver base, 4 litres of candy. Then add the price of the laquer on to that! We ran out of candy after 3 litres so my supra's missing its 5th coat of candy, hence its a touch lighter. Being completely re-done over winter though. See my garage for pics. ;)
