Default Mag Red Spray Paint

Help!
Had a small fender bender the other day and was wondering where I can buy some Mag Red spray paint. I just scratched the top coat, down to the primer. About the 6 x 8 inches. Its a 2000 model.

PS-Should I purchase (if there is such a thing) a can of clear coat? To try to match it.

good luck to you my friend mag red is the hardest of the vette colors to match trust me I know I took the gas door off and took it to the paint shop mag red is a tri coat color but DuPont has a base coat clear coat formula the would be able to put that in a spray can and you will need clear if you google paint code wa379e red tint tri coat

I've ordered several cans of Mag Red II to paint the parts under the hood from

www.levineautoparts.com

It worked very well and matches perfectly.

My passenger side was hit while the car was parked . $5000.00 in damage. I took it to 4 body shops before I found one I was comfortible with. None of the shops were happy with having to match that color. Lots of blending.
