Default Paint code???

May be a long shot but I am wondering if anybody has or may know of a paint code for the red appearance package emblems? I am wanting to paint my blue ovals the same color red and have it match as close as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have a template you use to paint around the parts that are red or are you just a master at taping lol?

Ahh see mine are the older ones that don't come apart like that or once again I got unlucky with the 11' lariat limited having dinosaur emblems on it. Already got unlucky with the fender badges not being the clip type that can separated.

Oh, yeah that sucks. You might be better off getting a vinyl overlay

If you have the emblem off, take it to a paint store and have them use the computer to match color.

Super difficult, if not impossible to get a spectrophotometer on a part that small. Usually a gas door is the smallest part we will accept for that
