I went through the same delema. I purchased spray cans of different reds from Tower Paint. Finally settled on Ford Rio Red. I found an old glove box cover from a VW. I painted it Rio Red with a Wimleedon White stripe. I carried around with me and when I saw a red car I would hold up my sample to see if it was darker, orange on yellow. Rio Red won out. The only paint that was a shade different was Ford Ultra Red that was used on Ford Escorts. Try to find a car that is the color you are looking for, it will help with your color choice.
