Redfire vs. Torch Red

[406 'velle]

hopefully this is in the correct forum...

hey guys, im going to be repainting my chevelle after i get a cowl hood here after this summer, and since choosing a production color for the repaint would help save some dough, i've been looking into ford colors, namely redfire and torch red. if you guys have a car with one or the other, please post a pic or offer your opinion. i would like to compare these two and try to choose which i am going to use for my repaint. thanks :-D

I'm a redfire, I love it. Basically a candy red.

Your car appears to be close to Torch red now, maybe a bit darker.

Here's some pics:

Pictures don't ever do the Redfire justice. The mettalic never shows, in person it glitters like a jewel. The pics make it just look cherry red, but with the sun shining it definitely sparkles.

Torch Red will never match that :coolman:

Redfire w/o a doubt...of those 2 choices anyway.

I love torch red. I have not seen a redfire in person but from the pictures Ive seen it seems to be a bit maroon. I hate maroon, personal preference! The only thing I dont like about Torch red is in the bright bright light it seems to me to have a bit of an orange hue.

My Torch Red coupe. I think it's a little sportier/aggressive than Redfire, but obviously I'm biased. It gets plenty of attention from cops though. I love Torch Red because at times it looks almost lipstick red, others times it's nearly a blinding orange... very bright (see avatar).

I also have a torch red GT. I am a fan of both and sometimes I wish I would have went with the Laser Red. The name changed in 03 to Redfire.

Torch Red = Performance Red?

Does anyone have a good list of all Mustang Paint codes?

Performance Red has a LOT more orange to it. You can't really tell the difference in pics, but I've had mine next to a 2000 PR GT - his looked waaaay different than mine.

I get my paint codes and production numbers from www.yellowmustangregistry.com. They have excellent info.

yep you are right, Performance red (now called SVT red) is E3, torch red is D3.

This is going to be big! My old 03GT infront of the Newport Bridge leaving for Oklahoma City last November....sorry for being nostalgic.......I miss that car sometimes.....mostly the color......you will love it I used to get complements everywhere I went on that color.

Redfire is awesome.
I reminds me of the Red that was used on the 96-98 Cobras.....can't think of the name off the the top of my head but it was a great color.
