I've ask a lot of girls on what colour should I paint the NSX and they all said red. Can anybody point me the difference between the Ferrari Rosso Corsa and the NSX Formula Red?

If possible could include the photo of the NSX and Ferrari side by side for comparison. Thanks.
 
while I'm not agreeing the color as a fashion statement but a personal taste... IMO, you had a very nice color to begin with... Blue... what motivates you to have it repainted??

I had a red car, I like Red nsxes, but seriously I don't think it's the best color for nsx. It also happened that most nsx is in red color. It's getting a little too common....
 
Hi,

Well funnily enough here is a picture of mine and my best friend's NSX's, his was recently resprayed at a cost of $20,000 (!!!!!!!) in Rosso Corsa by the previous owner after a small front bump. It appeared he wanted it to sit nicely on the drive next to his FCar!

Anyway if you want more pics PM me your email address. Mine is Ascari Red (New Formula) and is the one with the darker alloys.

HTH, Cheers, Matt.

The two colors are very, very close and both are very nice, vibrant reds. I'd call it a toss up. A friend of mine with a Rossa Corsa TR and I drive together a lot and most people think that the reds are the same when the cars are parked together. Re: cost, the NSX formula red is a 3 stage paint, whereas the rossa corsa is 2- stage and can even be done in single stage if you'd prefer. So, the latter would likely be a bit less expensive.
 
I was thinking Championship white first but since I also want the car not to just look attractive to car enthusiasts. Now I have to decided to either paint the roof and mirrors body colour or Berlina black or just the mirrors in black. I'll be adding 02R wing later (gloss black).

Blue is okay but it was not my preferred colour and was chosen for me by a friend. He bought the paint without telling me. I was also thinking yellow as it is a sporty colour. Majority of people around me tell me red would look better. I may go to the paint shop tomorrow to compare this two colours closely.

Thanks Matt for those photos. I also remember someone posting a photo of his NSX next to an F40.
 
I want my NSX to be chicks magnet. Feel the power. :biggrin:


Throw some gold rims on it, the chicks will think you're the Sultan of Brunei's family lol :tongue: (maybe I'm mistaken but AFAIK he loves to get most things in gold...?)
 
I did hear that maybe one His Majesty car is all painted gold. Talk about bling.:biggrin:
