Know any nice red metallic paint colors?

Do you guys know any stock cars that have a nice red metallic color? I'm thinking about painting my car something like a dark red metallic color. Got any pics? Thanks

Sounds like a very cool color. I used to like candy apple red, then again, still do.

I'm a big fan of the Mustang "Redfire" color. A nice dark red.
Moroccan Red Pearl isn't bad either.
