Default Paint Code Tip For My Fellow Forum Members

I had posted a question the other day asking what paint code the Bright Red Calipers might be. I got two "dings" on my front left caliper which I hated looking at. Seems no one knew the answer as maybe no one has had to touch them up.
See before and after photo below. I had read on the forum here that Pat from American Hydrocarbon might know. Spoke to Pat, and while he had never actually done it, he suggested I try Torch Red. Turns out he was right and the proof is below. the color is none other than "Torch Red". ACDelco GM Original Equipment 19367755 Torch Red (WA9075). I hope this helps someone. Have a great day all!

I had a feeling Bright Red = Torch Red code for the painted calipers. Thanks for confirming.
