The lower car in this picture.. was painted Viper Red.. I guess having the two on the same page will offer me a better look to see how close.

I hope the guy that owns the car did post, that would make it simple. And I suppose I should have put on there that it was "Dodge Viper" red too.
That was a custom job we did about 10 years ago.. real shame too! The car was a 30k mile original every frickin numbers matching car.... drug her out of a pigeon coupe where it had been sitting for over twenty years.
It was originally a dark blue 64 and the fender flares and side fenders were added to it in 1968 by the still original owner. We painted it red, put in saddle customer made interior and boy it looked great! The car is in North Carolina now!

Just a thought unless you are looking for an "specific" color code if you know what you want - like a "bright red" most of the time you can look through factory color charts and find a "stock factory" color that meets what you had in mind. There are so many variations of a color that it can make you nuts especially when it comes to red.

Correct ! Try the email route first.
I painted my 81 a few years ago, to match the "torch red" of my 2000 GMC Z71 truck. It was bitchin, then I sold it and have regretted it ever since.
