Spectra Red Spray Can

I am going to smooth a few areas under the hood of my car. I don't need the match to be perfect as it will not easily be visible behind under the hood and engine. Is there a close match I can get from autozone or a similar store?

If you know the color code no.Dupli-Color Perfect Match has GM colors that match up very good,I know Pep Boys and Advanced Auto carry that brand.

Re: Spectra Red Spray Can

Why does it have to be Spectrum Red,If they have the GM paint code no.for your car then use that.They only had one Red color for that year.

Re: Spectra Red Spray Can

Just buy a can of code 75 Red and see if it matches,I mean code 75 Red would be the color your looking for,weather it has a color name or not.

Re: Spectra Red Spray Can

You can try a place a couple of members bought from,(for our interior finish) BAPS it's in York PA look them up on the web,but you can probably get that from any automotive paint supply,just give them the code and just ask if they mix and put it in a spray can
