    Question Looking for Hellrot Red Rattle Can Substitute

    Does anyone know of a cheap rattle can primer or regular red that is good to match the Hellrot Red? I've got a few spots in my engine bay and under the car that could use a little touch up and there's no way I'm paying a crapload of money for actual Hellrot Red.

    Autozone has toyota red which is pretty dang close. Better than bare metal for sure.

    Rustoleum Sunrise Red or go to local auto body paint shop and have them mix you up some cans.

    I am looking as well. What is the best matching one for a 2mm x 1 3/4in spot?

    I used the rustoleum banner red for the early brighter red Hellboy red. Then the slightly darker red rustoleum for the darker later model hellrot cars. But it was 100x better to just buy the 20 to 30 dollar can of color match "custom colors" enamel they make up themselves by the book. The only problem with those is they can't account for sun fade. But still better than rustoleum.
