Hi all What is the most beatifull red color for 1968 Dodge charger ? What do you think about corporate red 1968 ?

440

Hello and welcome  :wave:

Someone should chime in about red paint. Hard to say what the best red is due to the fact different people like different things. I'd say around here it would be factory red.

The only person it matters to is you so pick a red that you like and go nuts with it.

My charger (in the pic) is R4 Bright Red but was also used in the Spring of 68.  I seem to remember it being called Charger red or something like that but R4 is the same color according to my paint chip sheet.  The color is more of a redish orange color which plays hell when trying to take a picture.  The true color only comes out on over cast days.  When its in the sun, it can go anywhere from a bright orange to a two tone pink / orange under parking lot lights at night.

Scorch Red. Goes from bright red in the sun to bloody in the shade.  :naughty:

No, PP1 is much darker. My '68 is Scorch Red, Brian. A darker, "bloodier" red than the bright red of R4.

Ahem, for a '68 it would be QQ-1. Don't muddy the water....  ;)

For a red go with what you like; life is too damn short.
