No problem.Under the front hood.

Paintscratch.com is good too if you need slightly bigger jobs. I use the paintscratch brush in the lipstick bottle on the lower front spoiler since its rough textured and you dont need to be very precise about it blending in okay.

Used Dr Color Chip with good results too, but I dont bother smearing with the glove like in their videos. I just smudge the paint into the chips with a toothpick brush until they are totally covered, and have gotten better (less messy) results when wiping off. I usually have to do 2-3 passes/coats to get the results I want however regardless of technique.

YMMV.

Thanks for the tips, guys!

I tried looking under the hood real quick this morning to look at the paint code, but I didn't see a sticker or anything. Could it be under the carpet somewhere? I didn't have time to pull it up.

What's the paint code for Guards Red just in case I can't find it? I appreciate the help, everyone.....

Guards is G1G1 or LM3A or 80K. Kind of appears in different places as different things, but its all the same color.

Sticker would normally be under the hood near where crest is (just for reference, not a red car):



L655 is the paint code here (Platinum Metallic).
