Default Not thrilled with Misano - thinking about ordering Brilliant Red or Getting Daytona....

As soon as I figure it out I am gonna put in the order.

Brilliant Red - Sporty, no orange (which I see in Misano), very pretty. Concerns are whether I will grow tired of such a bright car and the swirls that inevitably show up on a non-metallic paint.

Daytona - Classy, understated, yet mean at the same time as it is pretty dark. Concern is that it is is missing that sporty something - wish there were more interior choices so that it wouldn't be so plain. The M3 I sold was similar exterior but Imola Red interior...really loved the color scheme. Pic up above.

Thoughts?

Not sure swirls relevant to non-metallics. They're all clearcoated, which is wear the swirling occurs. It will show on darker paints, but I've never had a problem with swirls on the red cars I've owned. JMO.

Default you seem like you'd like Sprint blue.

sporty, not as bright as misano, metallic.

???

not for me, but just my interpretation of your post.
