Oem Paint Question

I recently got my cf hood and i was planning on painting the body line... just the sides and leaving the center of it CF , its an oem cf hood soo i figure that will look best.

my question is does anyone have a brand they recomend that will color match the best to stock paint. i have a 2005 Evo, it is Rally red. does anyone happen to know the paint code for Rally red??? also is their a company that is closest to stock paint. i would like the hood to match the best

if anyone has a website or place in NJ to get the paint let me know


thanks

The paint code should be on the inside of the driver side door. Any company you go to will have to blend the paint to get it to match perfectly. Im not sure if there is one paint brand that is better than another though. I would be more concerned about taking it to a credible shop that can blend paint properly.
