VHT 900* Caliper Real Red (SP731) – almost perfect

Of the 4 I tested, the VHT Caliper Real Red wins hands down. I’ll post some pictures once I get everything put back together.

If anyone else has any brands/colors they’ve tried, please feel free to post them here!
Yes the VHT is the closest I fund. After putting on the decals I used a clear engine enamel and they look awesome. A year latter still look like new.
