Scott,
Sounds like Blaze Red, like my 73 roadster (nickname "Punkin" because the
seller advertised her as "Pumpkin Orange"). I did the same thing..."That
ain't RED, that's freakin' ORANGE!"
You can get the info at http://www.mgcars.org.uk/namgbr/paint.htm
The paint code for ours is:
Dupont: 30007 or factory: BLVC16.
Moss Motors catalogs also have a paint code list.
Go to an auto paint store and ask them for a touch up bottle of Dupont
30007. Call around first to make sure they do touch up bottles. I found one
in KY so you should find someone who does it somewhere!
Dan
73 BLAZE RED B
