They sell paint. I don't know if you'll get an exact match to your color though. I have used them to paint a few off-road rigs. Did the job just fine.

If you read the testimonials, about 3/4 the way down there is a Corvette painted with the Candy Apple Red. Guy said it came out more as a Torch Red. Just bellow that one is a Jaguar painted with the Burgandy Metallic...much darker.

Napa sells pints and rattle cans of your colorchoice, mixed to order. UYour local NAPA might not have the facilities to do it, but theres a Napa paint store in the area. The cheaper Finish-1 brand (used to be crossfire) is usually close...but the more expensive tec-base brand is spot on...depending on how faded your red is. If youre doing an all over paint job; Id reccomend the Tecbase since it mixes 1:1 you need half the paint...and RED paint if its cheap, takes a LOT of coats to cover well anyway.

Oh, if you do go to Napa, use the 15420 clearcoat...its awesome and 90 bucks a gallon

If you need an exact match...go to NAPA, PPG or Dupont with a piece of trim from your car. Have them use a color deck or a spectrum gun...to analyze and match your paint. Every color has 3 or 4 variations...due to humidity, colorfade etc etc...just because its mixed by weight as firemist orange...and your car is firemist orange...doesnt mean its going to be an exact match. Also; dont expect the cheap stuff to have good batch control, especially with a RED and a METALLIC. buy the more expensive stuff AND youre going to need to shoot a test panel...to make sure you can get the metallic to lay down like the rest of your finish....yeah its a bit of a pain...but you want it done right
