go to the model car/airplane isle and pick up a bottle of Testor's enamel in the correct shade. I touched up a chip in my red caliper and it is virtually unnoticable. I'd give you the color & number, but I'm out of town at the moment.
You could always buy several shades and return the ones that don't match.

I had a torch red C5 and bought some touch up paint 17 years ago. Have used the same bottle of touch up paint on 4 different cars in the last 17 years when touching up the calipers and it as a very good match on a C6 and 2 C7s.

I found red gloss #1103 and dark red gloss#104 on Testor's site. Do either of these sound like your product? They're pretty cheap on Ebay I could buy one of each if I had to.

it's the 1103 TT Red Gloss. My scratch was pretty small & I used a wooden tooth pic to fill the scratch with the paint. Buffed with a mild polish and then applied a paint sealant. All Blackfire products minus the paint.
