Don't bother. If you have the original paint, it's most likely faded and the touch up paint is not going to match.

What I did was head up to the local auto store, buy about 4-5 different shades of red, did a few test areas to find the best match.

There are some places that will mix paint and you can probably get something that will match that way.

you could always t-cut your car first, then go to your nearest car store that sells paint, (the uk's version of halfords) and then give then the paint code from under your hood and they'll mix it for you

i did that on mine and you honestly cant tell the difference

yea, touch up paint probably isnt your best option..

Red is extremely prone to fading and oxidation..
