    Default Paint color - what red is 2018 F3 R/T Ltd Red?

    I have a 2018 F3 R/T limited in Red. I did something stupid and I need some touch up paint in Red, called local dealer asked the color, got Red. They can’t get touch up paint in Red. Does anyone know what shade of red we are talking about, got to a 1000 different shades of red. Help would be appreciated.

    Any decent Carrepair shop, can measure the colour with a spectrometer, and then mix the right colour for you, imho that would be the easiest way to go..
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    Agreed with Piratezz

    A good paint shop would not only be able to match it up for you but also be able to make a batch and put it in a spray bomb or to for you to use, at least they do here. Now if your just talking about a couple of dabs of touch up paint, you might be behind the 8-Ball there. Impossible to make such a small single batch for brush application.

    Great info there. Never knew they existed. Looks like they have a large data base of OEM colors for 2, 3 and 4 wheel modes of transportation! What ever your heart desires!

    I am not sure about for the spyder, but color rite has great matches for most motorcycle stock colors. I purchased some for my 2007 M109, and it was spot on. The only issue was that it was a 3 or 4 stage paint. If you did not apply it correctly, it could be a shade off.

    CanAm calls it Intense Red Pearl, but not sure if that will help anyone else give you the proper shade.
