Garnet vs Red Rock
Does anyone know if the 2016 Garnet Red is the same as the 2015 Red Rock metallic? If not do we know the differences? Thanks guys and gals.

Garnet red is like Crystal red from the fifth gens and is a tri coat/tintcoat paint. Red Rock is a metallic orange like Sunset Orange and is a traditional base/clear paint.

Whats the difference between a tintcoat paint and a base/clear? Is there no clearcoat on a tintcoat?

I think (based on the touch up bottles for those tint coat colors) that the clearcoat is tinted slightly? In the touchup bottles, it has a very slight red hue to it, with some metallic properties to add the "tintcoat" aspect to the paint. They used to sell tintcoat touchups with two separate bottles. One was the base coat, the other the tint coat. The new bottles are base coat and clear coat all within one bottle, but the tintcoat ones appear to be tint/clear. Or its the clear that is tinted.

In certain light, the RRM would look orange. I love the GRT so much better.
