Doing something a little different now, I'm going to try to figure out where all the different hues are coming from. I'd be happy to just to figure out one source for each shade of each paint, but the more I can list here the better. I'm also open to trading for any of the cars in any of the colors mentioned.

I invite anyone to bring any to my attention that haven't been mentioned, I'll check 'em out if I can and add them to the list.

When I describe the hue I'm referring to how the sample icon looks in the items menu, or next to the car name in the garage, this is often very different than the color on the car :(

I've seen "Super Red" from at least a few makes.

Nevermind, reading comprehension owns me. :(
