Red colors fade worse than any other color. If you get the paint code and have it mixed, there's a very high probability it won't match because of fading. Take a removable piece like the headlight door to an automotive paint supply house and have them match the paint.

I was a Paint rep for Glasurit for 5 years! You always have to enter a paint code in order to match using a spectrophot. having original code makes starting point much easier.
