Hope this helps you.........
Yes you are right, I used to own rosso red XR3i many years ago, and its a mare to match red paint, you can always tell its been sprayed under street lights. I would try and get the body shop to blow in the paint, in other words blend it in into both wings, as the should do with metallic paint.
