Default Red Spray Paint

I am looking for spray paint that will come close to matching my flame red jeep... Anyone know of a brand that has a red that comes close?

Thanks

I had some mixed at Sherwin Williams a couple years back.

They got my paint code (White '06 Rubi) and mixed it up for me on the spot. It was good quality paint and looked really good. Matched perfectly!

I painted my custom cage I had done. I should have spend more time on the prep and put a clear coat, or some type of UV protectant on it afterward. The AZ sun turned the white to a slight shade of Yellow at the top of the bars. Barely noticable though.

+1

look for a local auto paint supplier. They're mix it and throw it in a spraycan. I got mine for under $30. Sounds high but it's OEM quality and its a perfect match.

Dupli-color at any local auto parts store. Flame red Chrysler has been out for years. I had a can left over from my 2000 dodge Ram that I recently used on my diff covers and it matches perfectly. Only costs like $6 bucks.
