Is that a standard color? It looks metallic and I don't think the reds were metallic. Looks great though.

Actually I might hafta agree with Laurel, I think it is Mica Ruby.

Remember, pictures don't always show the EXACT color ;)

I wonder if the color isn't a repaint as they did the mirrors and grille, so its possible they changed the color from stock a couple shades without it being obvious.

True, but finding that out from a picture is kinda hard. ;)

I looked up in a 1994 brochure and theres a color named crimson pearl so I think thats it. And for those wondering thats a factory painted Liberty RS from Australia.

I f'n love that red! The other red I love is the old dark reds some of the Maseratis used to use in the fifties - kind of like vein-blood red (darker than arterial blood as its been deoxygenated).
