Super 9 paint question

[scootermaven]

Does the stock RED paint on a Super 9 have metallic in it?

Sure looks like it on my 2004 Super 9 LC!  When it is clean and out in the bright sunlight it really sparkles.  I've had a lot of comments like "Wow, that paint really glitters......"  In fact, I never really noticed until someone pointed it out to me.  Just looked like a nice looking red in the showroom!

Thanks, Wil!  I just ordered some touch-up paint for my red Vitality 2T, which apparently is the same paint that's on a red Super 9.  The touch-up paint (part #RR-123), however, has no metallic in it (that I can see) whatsoever.  Oh well, we'll see how it looks on a couple of small nicks.
