Default Magnetic Red Repair

Yeah I did it, scuffed it down to bare glass bottom of rocker. Paint suggestions of what I should use? Looks like everything is in a 3 part system! Is there a color out there that is ridiculously close?

Magnetic Red was a C5 color. You posted this in the C8 section. Moving to C5 General.

You should be able to get a match from Automotivetouchup dot com.

One thing I have done to touch up tri coat is to use the color to touch up the chip and then mix a little color in the clear and use it for a transparent top coat.
