Default HELP NEEDED! '01 Z06 damage

Some bone head has run into my pride and joy. Minor damage but crack in RH rear quarter. I desperately need help in locating a factory painted Torch Red RH rear quarter for my Z06 (convert.panel is the same). Can anyone be of any assistance? PLEASE?

Unfortunately, my bodyshop has tried(!) and can not get a perfect paint match.

I'd suggest a new body shop. What do they (your body shop) mean, they can not get a perfect paint match for Torch Red???

IF they told you that, then you need to move on to a better shop...

Run, don't walk away from this shop. A good body shop can do and paint anything.
You're definitely in the wrong place.
