contact Gene Culley @ GMparthouse he hooked me up with some VY in spray cans. very happy with the service and the product. I sent him an email since finding the paint info on his site was difficult. I just told him what I wanted and he took care of it.

Red Jewel Metallic is the regular name for the color. I've used their rattle can paint many times.

Monterey Red is 80U with a sub # of U301N. The sub # indicates the three steps involved in painting. When I had a 96 in Sebring Silver I went to NAPA and they made a rattle can for about $15. It was a perfect match. Not all NAPA stores make the paint, you'll have to check the stores.

You have the paint code, but a word of advice, Monterey Red Metallic or Jewel Red Tint Coat as it is also known as, is a hard color to try and match, but here is a site I have ordered from in the past for my Torch Red C5 and it was a perfect matchhttp://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/chevrolet/2007/corvette/. Also you will want a spray can of clear to finish off what ever you are doing. Good luck.
