I need this.
Duplicolor perfect match Ford Cardinal Red (advance auto parts), that was after the wet sand and buffing. you can not tell the difference unless you know what you are looking for.

Edit: do remember that i have the original paint, so if you have a resprayed car the color might be off. we guesstimated what color by holding the lids of the cans beside the car, and came up with the above color being the closest.

mine's been resprayed, but my panels match the orginial "classic red" still. I've had to replace a fender and i still have my hood off my '93 with orginial paint.


but I'd like to maybe sand down my "new" fender and repaint it and a few other spots....this gave me insipration.



but im very lazy, so i doubt i do anything but prented that i will do it.

yea 1 can was enough to do the entire rear passenger fender, so it should do for what you want. you will want to spend a good amount of time wet sanding though, spray paint sucks.

I thought the match for Classic red was the GM0388 Bright red, but that looks like a (pun intended) PERFECT MATCH! Strange though, I used the Bright red instead of the Cardinal red on my mudguards and it turned out perfect too.

I decided I didn't like the smoke tail lights and solid finish panel. So I painted the stripe back on.
