Hi, I have same colored bike. The scratches on my bike did not take off the paint, it just scratched the clear coat. I used a clear coat pen(from auto parts store) looks just like new.

Hey guys if your in the states, I went to my local MACCO shop and they used their special camera and matched it to a .0025%. I'll call them tomorrow and see if they have the paint code. I'm waiting on a filliable paint pen if anyone wants to see how close it actually is, I'll post a photo.

I am then brilliantly cleaning my bike and ride wrapping it

@skeet103 would be very keen to know the paint code and see your pics!

I went to Pepboys and purchased Dupli Color paint pen Chrysler Dark Garnet Red Pearl ACC0413 going to test it this weekend

I colour match and make coatings and colours for a living, I have all the latest photospectrometers and computer aided colourmatching systems. (these systems do not work well with metallic colours as the light reflects into the optics from the glitter and gives false reading) I can assure you that you will not find a code for this red. It is a Trek inhouse colour developed by their colour department and there is no standard colour code. The best thing to do is take battery cover into store and buy a couple of nail varnishes that look close (stand in the store and use the tester on your own nails to see the colour, I did, got some funny looks ) then if needed blend the colours you have to get a match.
Nail varnish is usually NC based resin, this is the same resin that car paints used to be made from so nail varnish will stick well to metal.

David, what about non-Metallics. My Rail 7 is the two-tone blue and these are solid paints. Can you reproduce them?

If I had the bike I could pretty much colour match any colour, but thats not possible. but like I said in my message nail varnishes come in thousands of colours now days and if you look around the accessory shops where all our daughters buy all their crap from you can find pretty much any colour varnish. Or if you find a blue thats a bit dark, buy a white and mix them, colour matching is easier than you think.

If anyone is interested, I found a nail varnish brand called 'Technic' and their Ruby Red is pretty close to the Trek Rage Red..

I had not thought of the nail varnish counter, great suggestion!
I found a perfect match for my blue Focus bike in the paint section of a car parts store (Halfords in the UK). With Focus being a German company I looked first at all the German cars but without success. I eventually found that Peugot Aegean Blue metallic was a perfect match. Worth a try.

here are some photos of the paint applied to the battery cover and paint for the Yari shock

Hello, I have found a really, I mean really close nail polish for Trek Rage Red paint.
It is China Glaze brand Ruby Pumps numbers on bottom of bottle are 182 and below the color name is 70577 . A search for it on Amazon will find it.

 

[Timothy]

thanks for the info.

The other thing to look at is Testors model paint. The flat olive is almost a perfect match for my Rail 5 (had to mix in just a touch of black to get it right. One of their metallic reds might be really close.
