Hi all-I am a new 8 owner. I traded in my 6s for its big brother. I had a question about the Victory Red paint job. I understand it is metallic and was wondering what kind of hue does it give off in the sun. When I went to the dealer, it looked like pink glitter but perhaps I am wrong. I went ahead and bought a black one but really liked the Red too. There were so many cloudy days lately that I couldn't wait until the sun came back out to verify the paint after I saw it that one initial time on a sunny day.
At first I thought that there were two red paint jobs because I am used to manufacturers offering flat red and then an off-red metallic. I should meet her Monday or Tuesday. I think it will be love at first site!

It is actually called "Velocity" red mica,and it has mica flakes in it like the Nordic green,instead of metallic flakes.The red is a stunning color in the sun,or otherwise.I almost wish I had got the red.Nah I love the green.

I have a red one. On a cloudy day it looks solid red. In the direct sun it gets a little orange to it. At dusk it looks really deep dark red. I love it by the way. Never noticed any pink. Any color is nice .. so long it is an 8 ! Enjoy !!
