Need help with paint code
I tried figuring out what my paint code is for my red 2000 C5. Went to the glove box and I did a "deer in the headlights" thing...my C3 is pretty simple to read and is on the driver's side door. This is a whole different animal. Do I Have Mag Red? Victory Red? Crayola Red? Help!

As some of you may know, I just picked up a red 2000 C5. I also have an 82 CE and identifying paint codes is pretty simple and easy for it. It's a sticker on my driver's side door and says "PAINT CODE". (duh)
This C5 is a little more Greek to me...I opened up the glove box and I was like a deer in the headlights...uh oh... what the h*ll is it? Victory Red, Torch Red, Crayola Red? YIKES! Here's a picture of the jumble of numbers that's in my glove box.
Here's a picture of the red I'm trying to identify....I want to get touch up paint but don't have a clue what type of red I have...HELP ME
PS: Just put on my SS Inserts (let the mods begin)...I had them on my Z28...I love these things...especially if the car is a darker color than the inserts. (My Z28 was pewter, so the effect wasn't as dramatic)

AFTER:
Here are SS Inserts on my Z28...with Pewter, the effect is not that dramatic as with ??? Red.... (that is now sitting on a used car lot ;-( I loved that car (it only had 9K miles on it)...but I love this one even more.....
