I'm going to be putting My 91 hatch in for paint in about 1 to 2 weeks when ever I get it back from the shop and get some welding and exhaust adjusted. I'm going back with red but I was needing suggestions on what color red flake or no flake. Suggestions please.

 

I'd do either stock red or viper red, with flake.

 

If you add a metallic flake to the factory red, you'll end up with metallic pink. If you want a mild sparkle, ask the painter to add a few additional coats of red pearl over the factory red basecoat. If you want real "flake" like a bassboat, you'll have to order some House of Kolor stuff. You'll get the nicest red from laying out a silver mini flake over silver basecoat, and then using their red candy -- I forget what they call it, but it looks like blood in a can-- to lay over the top. It will take a couple quarts of red candy to cover, but the results are fab.

 

is viper red a deep red I'm kinda leaning that way at the moment a kinda dark red not a bright one. If y'all know what I mean? door jams? depends on price.

 

People say things like "viper red" or "guards red" or "cherry red". They are or were at one point in time actual manufacturer's color names. I think it all boils down to what people think is a true, deep red. IMO, if you want a rich red, take a look at Mercedes "590". It's what they put on the SLK 500s, and it's amazing. Or, Honda has "R-81", which is also rich. The way it works is that you have a clean true red (which is honestly too bright) , and then you add either orange to make it more tomato red, or magenta to make it a deeper cherry-like red. More magenta means deeper color. Now you can teach your painter something.
