No. There are two different paint codes, two different paint formulas, for reds which are/were available on the Crossfire.

Also yes... you can take 20 Crossfires all painted with the same exact paint code and formula, in the exact same light at the exact same time, and they may all look a bit different.

That's why body shops and painters get the big bucks for fixing your car and making it look the same as before your accident. They have to match the paint, tint it, and, because they are unlikely to ever get an exact match, they blend it into your existing paint so your eye cannot pick up the variation.
