This is why I thing having two Rosso Maranello cars will be ok=) So beautiful. Closest internet picture I've seen to what it looks like in real life.

interestingly, I noticed Ferrari apparently paints the inside of front bumper (behind prancing horse), the body color, on triple layer paints besides my Rosso Maranello, I noticed this Giallo Triplo Strato as well: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Does anyone know a good comparison of Rosso F1 2007 and Rosso Fuoco? Is the 2007 lighter and brighter?
F1 2007 is compnetely different. Fuoco and Maranello are metallic colours, the F1 is not. F1 is a 4 layer and more like a deep non-metallic candy colour. In the shade it can look very Rosso Corsa, but deeper and more liquid, and then it gets quite orange in sunlight.
Thanks for that. Perfect answer for what I was looking for. Maybe Rossa Corsa with the carbon wheels is the way to go.
RC is never wrong, IMHO My sense is that unless you've seen a 3L or 4L in the flesh and deemed it worthy, it's a fairly pricy roll of the dice.
I have a 3L in Rosso Maranello incoming on the 812. Thought fuoco would be a nice counter to it, but I’ll miss Rosso Corsa on the 458.
As for what compares to fuoco... Nothing really. At the risk of offending people here, I'll answer with this. I think Rosso Corsa is the most dull and boring choice for the Pista. It completely flattens all and every line and tur it into a very two dimensional object. Generally speaking, I don't care much for Rosso Corsa on the modern cars. They need colours that show off the lines and shape. Add to that the new PPG Rosso Corsa is far from the hey-day of the lush Glasurit FER300/6. Go with one of the other vibrant and exiting reds. Maranello with a silver stripe will be absolutely stellar - especially with CF wheels.
If its RC you want ild go RCM as the cheapest choice with no flat spots . But looking at Coburn and even Rosso Angelo , just seen , are truly epic
That’s a good point with RCM, though I hear it’s a marginal difference. Coburn in the Ferrari magazine this week...it’s glorious. I almost feel it, along with Maranello, is too pretty for a race car. I don’t know much about Angelo, but I just saw it in a thread recently.
Are you saying nothing compares to Fuoco in a good way? As in it’s an outstanding color? Or nothing is similar to it in color and effect?
Wow. Mines scuderia, and I think it’s way better than Corsa....but I think I we all defer to maranello in the sun that’s nuts
Correct marginal difference with RCM , no bragging rights as its RC. But with experience and having a knowledge in paints its a small extra to have the PERFECT Rosso Corsa. Standard RC will have and always has had flat spots. The new water based paints even increases it. Look at a RC at an angle it WILL be flat. With RCM it isn't.
It’s definitely a good option. Stopping by the dealer tomorrow to tool around with some configurations.
No, not at all. My thinking is more along the lines of, why RC when there are so many more interesting and beautiful reds to choose from. Fuoco is by no means the be all end all of reds. I just don't think Rosso Corsa does much for the modern cars, especially as the PPG Rosso Corsa is not as deep and lush as some of the older Rosso Corsa from Glasurit, especially the FER300/6. I do think Rosso Maranello with a silver stripe or perhaps Rosso Fuoco with an Oro stripe could be a very nice and elegant combo. Besides those, I very much like Rosso California and Rosso Fiorano. Rosso Berlinetta is a bit too muddy for me, and I kind of feel the same with Mugello. If one wants a non-metallic colour, I'm thinking F1 2007 or Rosso Coburn as they show great depth and detail of the surface and angles. As for the metallic version of Rosso Corsa. I've seen it a bunch of times now, and I fail to see what's the point. It's so subdued in the metal flakes, as it might as well not have it.
