Default Brilliant Red Vs. Misano Red

Good morning guys,

I'm really conflicted on my order for the S3. I love the Red but i really cant decide between the Brilliant and Misano. I still have an opportunity to change this and currently i have the Brilliant Red on paper. My hesitation is that i feel there wont be much color depth in the Brilliant vs. the Misano.

What is you opinion? do you feel that the Brilliant red is inferior to the Misano on a fully loaded S3? understanding that its all a personal preference.

Thanks!

You must not be from the states? I don't see an option for Brilliant red.


I bought Brilliant Black but I love looking at the Misano Red cars! I like that color/shade of Red.

I always prefer a true colour over a metallic/pearl colour, but that's just me.

Brilliant Red is just standard red paint. Misano Red is a pearl-effect paint and the color changes as light hits it.

I ordered my S6 in Misano.

I have a Brilliant Red A3 with the black/glass roof and I love it. A great wax and acrylic glaze, and I get my own liquid wet red hot babe! I think Audi nailed the red.
And it's been around awhile, so repaints and touch ups will be way easier to match. Pearls/flake/metallics are much harder fix/match or touch up. Just a consider.

From my long experience in life, this is an important point.
