LOL, Ruby is a very nice color, I've had 3 others similar, and another identical.
Joe, could you give me the name of that tape you used again on the grille and wheels? Thinking I May try that on the lower grille. Can't hurt anything.

Thanks Joe, I'm gonna go ahead and order some. It looks like it might be close enough in color since it'll be broken up by the black. Looks good on yours.

Just ordered it. I got both the 1/2", and the 1/4". Now with a steady hand and mosquito spray, hopefully I'll be good to go!

John did you see this color at metro restyling from pic looks close. I think I’m going to order a sample piece to check color. I really want to do my mirror skulls.
Well so much for that discontued color

Here is a place that claims to match any OEM color. Thing is, they want $50 for a 3"X5" sample.

Yes, I did. That's the same as I got that didn't match.

I thought the same. Would be a bit different if that $50 was refunded on the order, but that isn't even mentioned. Pretty sure I can have paint for less than it looks like the cost for vinyl would be.

I think I would go the paint route. Ruby is such a special color with it's tinted clear its going to be very hard to find a perfect match vinyl.
Joe for Mirror caps talk to MBullock on this forum. He's done a lot of paint work for members and has a great reputation.
