      Angry Red touch-up paint

      I got a ding on my back bumper, with like 4 or 5 spots that go down to the metal.
      I'm trying to find touch-up paint at auto stores, but they don't seem to have any that match the color code. The color is called "Super Red," but seems to only be used on the Aveo.

      I can narrow it down to maybe colors in this list:
      List: Touch Up Liquid - General Motors: red | O'Reilly Auto Parts
      or this one:
      List: Touch Up Liquid - Import: red | O'Reilly Auto Parts

      Does anyone know what color matches ours, or would I have to look at one of those websites that custom matches the color and charges too much?
      Thanks

      Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com

      Lightly sand the immediate area of the scratch (literally just the edge of the hole and hole, get a correct basecoat, and "fill" the nick, let it dry, and put a "drop" of clear over it. Let that dry and compound rub the area to even out the shine. (probably day or two later. You will still have a bump, but it will be the right color, and it you learn some touch up techniques, and color sand the base and then sand the clear and buff it, you will not easily see the repair.
