Saw your photoshop.

Is CP red the color used for your Photoshop example ? Looked to be a few shades darker than CP red ?

Maybe...

I'll have a better idea this weekend when i put my chili scoop in place. I'm hoping chili will work, if not, i'll go rouge and paint a more blood red. I'm thinking that i could probably find chili mirors and trunk handle as many are replaced with carbon fiber or chrome (which i have for trade). Spoiler and new, primed, aero kit side skirts will have to be painted.

I saw and commented on your photoshop mock up. IMHO the Chilli Red will be to bright a red. i think it should be more of a dark or blood red as you called it.

Looks more like a black rasberry color sorta.

I agree, CP red will be a lot brighter then your photoshop version.

I assume you mean rogue here, although I bet there's plenty of rouge in the shade of red you'll want to go with.

Thought about just buying any color mirrors and repainting? Looks like you'll have to do this anyways since chili is a bit off.

I was looking for blue ones myself and came up with nothing, so I just got some cheap silver ones on eBay and planned to paint with something like this (and clear)...not that I know the painting process all that well. Are there any guides or tips on painting small stuff here?

While looking at different blues I came across another color I forgot about that might work for you and looks somewhat close to your mockup color - Nightfire Red.
