Bought some paint and it doesn't quite match...

I ordered it from Paintscratch.com I gave them my VIN code and such, but the paint just doesn't quite match. It's a bit to dark. The side of it says Phoenix red, but my car is an 06 RS, which I thought was rally red... or is that just what the color is actually called?

Did you paint something to see what color it is when dry?

Yeah I did... it looked right on the card... but on the car, it's just a bit to dark though.

not much you can do about that, its touch up paint, kinda hard to acount for paint fade and what not. it probably looks better than a scratch.

you could try mixing 1 DROP of pure white to it. then mix it up very well and apply to the scratch with a syringe.
