From the C8 Corvette Body, Wheel and Caliper Paint Touch Up Codes thread (which can be found in the The Official Color Threads sticky thread):
WA252F (Cherry Bomb Red) is said to be a match.

This is Cherry bomb Red and matches valve covers pretty damn close if not nearly exact.

Dupli-Color Barcelona Red Met BTY1618 (3R3) is the paint code you want. It is an exact dead match.
Here @zet06 is everything you need to know, my write up:

Step by step, including which primers and clear coats to use to get and exact match.
I did this, turned out great, was easy, and was enjoyable. HAVE FUN!
