Chili red paint match

I remember seeing a post that mentioned different spray paints that were very close to a match for the Chili Red paint. Can anyone help me find this post

there are MANY places that can match ORIGINAL Chili Red ....

issue is: do you have sun fade??????

I've used these guys for small quantity for years

automotivetouchup.com

today your local auto paint shop has a computer driven system that can match any factory color according to the original formula (which is all the web site I mentioned is doing) .... problem becomes 'sun fade'. Like taking a piece of home wood to Home Despots ... you can find GOOD auto paint shops that can 'shoot' your existing color for a computer match.

Thanks for the info. I remember that people had found a close match with duplicolor or rustolium or some other paint
