we might have a miscommunication, the 06 and 07 red colors are "3 coat" systems, unlike the normal 2 coat. Your blue one has 2 coats, "blue paint" and "clear"...if you check color rites site, it tells you (and is also common knowledge about the candy red) that the red bikes have a "base", "top", and a "clear". the base is a silverish metalic, the top is a clearish red(candy) and then the regular ole clear on top of that. so where as you bought 1 $80 half pint can, the red bikes have to have two $80 cans, (base, and top) plus the clear....that make a little more sense than my previous post?
