Looks like candy apple red to me.

A deep candy apple red.

It sounds like a blend of both candy apple and metal flake reds, given the description of reflective undercoat, multiple layers of color coat and reflective particles mixed in.
Most paint shops hate candy coat jobs, due to the difficulty in getting it right. Inconsistency can really be seen in the final product (it’s easier to get the desired look on small pieces like motorcycle fuel tanks, but tough on car hoods and such). Mazda’s robo-painter programmers seem to have cracked the code.
