Does anyone know where I can find rio red paint in a aerasol (spelling?) can?

I am pulling the motor out of my car this weekend and there is a spot on the inner fender where the paint is missing that I would like to touch up and so that I don't have a factory green primer showing everytime I open the hood. The paint was very thin in that spot from the factory and come off when I cleanning everything up under the hood. It don't have to be perfect but nearly anything loooks better than the bare spot.

I've checked three different places that make touch up paint (including duplicolor) but none of them have rio red. Any ideas?

Go to this link, it's set on Rio Red. Rio Red is Ford code E8; also called Vermilion Red.

Thanks for the replies. I saw the vermilion red but didn't realize it was the same color.

Try Napa...They have the system where they'll do up a spray can..My local one just got it in.

I think before us it was called Vermillion...When I did my repaint I could only get that...not Rio.
