Default 03 Torch Red touch up paint

Has anyone purchased Torch Red touch up paint in a tube that actually matches?

I purchased "Torch Red" in a tube that didn't match. In my case, I think that my torch red on the Vette is slightly faded...17 years and 150,000 miles.

Perfect match and the paint will be newly mixed.

Try Dr. Colorchip. I have used it for years, not cheap by any means but perfect match. Just follow instructions.

automotivetouchup.com is the brand most people swear by, if you do a Google search you'll find many different car forums where people have used them with great results.

And what I like about this company is that they will mix any paint--if you can provide an industrial paint code. I had them mix interior paint for my 26 year old pickup--and the touch up paint was a perfect match with the correct gloss.

I have a small aerosol can of TRed. I'll spray it into the can cap and use cotton swabs. Reading about the tube it is a base coat and requires clear coat. I hope my method works out, it should.
