That looks like ketchup.

Honestly, the pre-1999.5 silver is pretty much the most amazing, low-maintenance color ever. If I ever have to respray the car, I would have a hard time passing up this same color...unless I made it just a little more blue. However, with unlimited funds, I would probably go for the pearl white that Lexus uses. It has zero yellow in it and that is great because off-white does nothing for me.

seriously a red a4 white white racing stripe?? WTF!?!? that would be hella ugly. Stock color red a4's look good, especially since they are rare...if you were gonna spend serious $$ repainting to do the red right (and not maaco cheapo red) it would look nice. Racing stripe FTL though. My personal opinion, for what its worth, is if you are going to spend money on a good paint job go with nogaro blue. No better color of car (well...bmw's estoril blue is up there). Pearlescent white is nice too. I would go with something that does not normally come on A4's, or else why spend the extra $$. Just my 2 cents.
