touching up paint?

[skriFF]

So I have all the average little hood dings from driving on the freeway and then I have a bigger spot on my rear bumper from where I backed into my friends deck (the thing sits way out there and didnt notice it til it was too late) so i decided I'm gonna get some touch up paint for the hood atleast.

My problem is im kinda iffy on which paint to get. I think the code for mine is U8774 and http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/makepaint2.cgi has that code which is red like my car but it looks darker than my paint. Maybe I'm just crazy but is this the right color.

Pics of my car are in my sig.

The correct code should be on the sticker on your door or in your glove box if that isn't where you got it from. Paint Scratch has matched the two colors I ordered from them well. They also ask for a vin number to make sure it matches the factory paint.

The problem is with a color like red and your car being a 93 its entirely possible that your paint has faded. So the paint they mix may be darker than the actual color on your car.
