I'm looking for good pictures of three different 914 colors:
Bahia Red
Guards Red
Phoenix Red

I'm deciding on a color and would like to see some pictures of these colors. I went to the 914 color site and the pics are not real clean. I've painted my last two cars yellow and have decided that this one will be Red. I've always been told that yellow cars are faster, but red cars get the girls!

Thanks,
Randy

Guards Red wasn't a 914 color. Bahia is the nicest of the 3. Phoenix, although very nice, appears to be more of a orange. The car below is Bahia red.

Thanks Tod! I know Guards is not a 914 color, but it is at least Porsche! The Phoenx is very orange, but is interesting!

I could have sworn that's what Cap'n Krusty said it was when I bought it from him...

What color is it then?

gwen,
I may be wrong. My 356 was ruby red from the factory, but had been repainted a guard's red in the 80s.
This is the color I see as ruby red:
(IMG:http://www.356registry.org/Members/Woltz/woltz_3_f.jpg)

This is the same car though:

and another:
(IMG:http://www.356registry.org/Members/Woltz/woltz_1_f.jpg)

so, now I'm confused. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I dunno. I'm just telling ya'll what I was told. I haven't repainted her yet, though parts could definitely use it!

I used to have a '61 MGA that was painted Guards Red and it looked orangey.

Lighting and monitor color calibration can confuse though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Trying to judge colors based on something you see on the net is a bad idea. Monitor calibration and different video cards can make the same picture on two different computers look completely different, even in the best of circumstances.

Here's my Bahia Red.
Originally it was a deeper red. On my second repaint it ended up a little more orange. Not sure why.

Same paint job as previous post, but looks much redder here. So you really can't judge by these digital pics.

Nice looking cars guys. Andy, I like the way you intergrated the bumper into the body. Looks great.
