I'm looking to get a bit of paint to hit the jams & such on my GT. I want to use Vermillion red or 93 Cobra red. When I search paint codes I cannot find anything listed as vermillion, and on one site I find 2 types of red: Vermillion, Performance red but under 6 different paint codes!? and the representation is junk.
Which red is the correct one? The one 93 I have seen was nice and bright and looked like it had a hint of orange in it.

My original color is EP but it looks absolutely nothing like the reds I see in the posted pics. My car also did not have the clear coat option.
