I don't think it's as much about color as the pearl/metallic in the paint/clear.
Other things you can try are a different shade base color under the red. Put down a little red, see if it’s dark or light, and base it off that. Red over a white base coat is much brighter than red over a black base. You can get a middle ground putting it over primer, silver, or charcoal.
Just food for thought if you want to play with a small piece of plastic until you find a “close enough” match.
However, when I asked them if they really believed that it would be a close match, they said they definitely did not think it would be and that it was very unlikely it would pass the eye test.
So what your saying is you should just paint what you wanted black and call i day
At least they were honest
Definitely looks like an effect was added to the clear, with that added element matching is going to be extremely challenging
for a diy job.
Yeah, I have seen that before as well. The problem is that even if you get the color match perfect, it will still look off because of the clear coat. I'll bet the "metallic" flake was added between the base and clear coat. I'd venture it will be a practically impossible task to match without knowing what the original painter did on the car, unfortunately. Regardless, it won't be done with rattle cans on the cheap.
I know you've resisted it, but the truly best thing to do would be a total repaint for a quality look. Knowing that money is tight, if it were mine I would probably just start saving pennies for that route down the road. You are just out of options, unfortunately.
