David;
My Spitfire is Carmine red but I had a similar problem. I took a small part
off the car that had good original paint on it and had my wife take it to a
couple of auto parts places (I have a slight color blind problem - it's a
"guy thing"). What she came back with was a couple of cans of Duplicolor GM
7172 which is near an exact match. The key here was employing someone with
great color vision.

Subject: near match Paint
I am currently having to do a small touchup of my firewall, brake fluid all
over the place. And I was wondering does somebody know a near-paint match
made for other manufacturers like GM, Ford or Chrysler for the spitfire
french blue ( paint code 126 )? I will be redoing the entire car but right
now looking for a small touch up can I can get at the local parts store.
Thanks in advance
