That doesn't look like candy apple red at all. The GT in your sig looks a lot closer to candy apple red.
Candy apple red is a deep transparent red painted over a silver base. It's an amazing color in person. I hope your e36 is modded up quite a bit though, cause it would look strange on a virtually stock e36.

Actually, Candy Apple Red is usually darker and more sparkly (the "candy" part)

there we go. Although you'll never be able to capture the true beauty of candy paint in a photograph. You really have to see it to know how amazing it looks.
Edit: why did you change the picture? that other one doesn't look like candy
castro's car was candy red (i think) before the chrome shadow

Changed it back. :stickoutt I was trying to find an outdoor shot of it... since as you say, it's really a "you have to see it in person" thing... hoping it would translate better.

Only under extreme lighting does byzanz look even decent to me. Otherwise i think it looks like a processed sh*t nugget.
Once in a rare while it hit's the light just right and the angels sing.

I agree to a certain point. Byzanz makes for a great picture car, but I also don't mind seeing it in person. I would never get my car in that paint, but it's nice to see them on the road, because they are unique.

The new M5 looks good in that picture. It's all shaded, where you can barely see how ugly it really is.
That's one photo that will appeal to many prospective M5 buyers.

LOL! Must be pretty young are ya?
Candy Apple Red was a very popular color for Hotrods, Bikes, and more around the same time as Metalflake....the 70's. Nothing "Rice" about it...

candy apple red looks hella good in person, you should do it, I think imola is just a regular darker red color.. while candy apple red has some sparkle to it.

No, it's painted over a silver basecoat. The red itself is transparent.
Imola is the most gorgeous coler even put onto an E36.

I'm pretty sure its Kandy Brandywine since its jpsmooth's car. http://www.onlineshowoff.com/content/articles/K4T2O47O8OBUQZHT719S.html
Brandywine can be darker or lighter depending on the base coat and lighting. Each color has 12 different shades depending on the base coat. Check these color charts.
