Default Closest Color Red to Torch Red

I'm wanting to wrap my hood and can't seem to find any vinyl wrap in torch red. Does anyone know who might sell the vinyl in torch red or what color red would be the closest match to it?
Thanks
Matt

Here are some of the more recent colors-- am also thinking the old Riverside red might be close--maybe too orange . . . .good luck.

They don't make vinyl in car colors generally. Just gonna have to get the closest...

Is repainting it out of the question?

Not sure you're going to find a really close match. I'd agree that painting would be the way to go if you want it to match perfectly.

Does anyone have a recommendation for the 3M wrap that closest matches the 2017 Torch Red paint color?

Thanks.

The Hot Rod Red looks pretty close. I guess it depends on what the OP wants to do with it. If he's gonna do the whole vehicle, then it wouldn't matter if it doesn't match. If he's looking to do just one or two panels, then he'll like never find anything that matches....

Why not paint? I had my hood done for $500 after some damn kids scratched mine.

I got some from Amazon, the closest red I could find to torch red. I tried wrapping my side skirts. I found out it is not as easy to do as it might look but I still persevered. As close as that color was, you could see the difference from a mile away.

Thanks for the input. I guess I could paint. I was just looking to do the edges of the front splitter and side skirts.
