Crystal Red Tintcoat paint... anything close to this color

[CamaroJim56]

Crystal Red Tintcoat paint... anything close to this color for use on an engine cover that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for the exact match?

Spray cans are rather costly for the CRT.

Thanks in advance.

I got some from there and also automotivetouchup.com. Both have worked well and were exact matches for not too much $.

Thanks, found it there, but the Crystal Red is TWICE the cost of the others. $52. for a 12 ounce spray can, $32 for a one ounce bottle.... rather steep.

I stand corrected, this one is not that bad. Unlike the others.

Appreciate it.

The costs are higher for Crystal Red. You spray a base coat a mid coat then the clear coat. You will get 2 12oz cans of each I believe. There one company that uses 1 coat then clear. I have the Red Jewel Tricoat color on my Camaro. I spent over $200. to paint my tail light bezels and it is still not a exact match match. I have the Red Jewel Tricoat. I got some GM spray paint and it the closes match. Since it recessed in you can not tell it very much from over 10 feet. Now under 10 ft you can see the difference.
