There is a hand-held electronic device that some paint suppliers have that can "scan" the paint surface and give a composite "score" that will allow the paint supplier to mix that color paint. One such supplier in southern IN used it to match my factory paint perfectly. Maybe this can help you find the proper paint color/mixture.

I will do just that!! There is a VERY high quality paint shop out here called "Space Age" and I'm sure they'd do that for me.

I used to own a '92 Plymouth Laser and I still have some touch up paint for it in a spray can. When I nicked the Evo valve cover I tried this paint. It is a perfect match. The color is medium red metallic.
