I agree with you Danny. Mike621's solid claret repaint looks infinitely better than the stock claret/black two-tone.
The factory paint code for Swiss Ruby Mica (sometimes called just Red Mica) is 247. It seemed to be available in the JDM for 1991-1993 and in Australia and New Zealand about the same time. I have been trying to find an international paint company that could supply its formulation.
Bipa's car is a Swiss SVX which was bought while in Germany, so Switzerland could have gotten that color as well.
Any paint supplier in those markets should be able to formulate matching paint to match that color.
Since these formulas are not available in the US, the only way to duplicate it here is to have a scan of a Swiss Ruby part (or paint chip) and have it computer matched over here, using our paints. The important part is the kind and size of the matallic "mica"
We have a couple of Swiss members who may be able to help as well. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated. This color is too magnificent not to share with any member here desiring a red repaint.
