Touch up paint question
I own a 95 LT1 in Dark Red Metallic. I called my local Chevy dealer looking for a tube of touch up paint only to find that it can not be ordered anymore. He referred me to a specialty paint shop and provided me with the paint codes based on the last 8 digits of my VIN. The color he came up with as a result of running my VIN was Brilliant Red Metallic. Here is a sample color pallette of the 95 colors:
Color Color Description Color Code
Cyclamen Metallic Clearcoat 05/WA117B
Arctic White Clearcoat 10/WA9567
Dark Green Gray Metallic Clearcoat 18/WA9795
Dark Cloisonne Metallic Clearcoat 28/WA128A
White Clearcoat 40/WA8554
Black Clearcoat 41/WA8555
Bright Aqua Metallic Clearcoat 43/WA9796
Medium Green Pearl Metallic Clearcoat 45/WA9539
Competition 53/WA9804
Torch Red Clearcoat 70/WA9075
Black Rose Metallic Clearcoat 73/WA9885
Brilliant Red Metallic Clearcoat 75/WA9239
Flame Red Clearcoat 81/WA8774
Polo Green Metallic Clearcoat
I don't get this. The color at the top looks most like the Dark Red metallic, but according to the code it should be the Brilliant Red. Anyone have any experience with these color variations?

I went and ordered Friday. I needed Turq Met for my 91 and not one had it cause they do not make it anymore. That color was only in 91, I believe. $13 shipped for 1/2 ounce bottle

As I look at the codes, my best guess - use:
Brilliant Red Metallic Clearcoat 75/WA9239
OEM Code=75 / WA Code=9239
