Are you saying the touch up paint you've tried is too dark? TBH if that's the case I think you'll struggle to find a touch up kit red that is a good match. Flame red is an utter PITA to match lol.

maybe the original paint needs a damn good polish to bring it closer to the flame red rattle cans?

Check the paint code under the bonnet against this list -

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

did you get the paint from vauxhall or a paint shop?
i went to a paint shop and they were adamant the colour was called 'frost white', when it was actually 'frozen white'.
i kept telling them this but they wouldn't have none of it. fools.

i forgot to post the link in my post but it was saying that magma red changed name to flame red. but other than that i havent got a clue. i did always think mine looked slightly different to flame red

why you bumping up? 
Have a look at the vin code under the bonnet. write down the details. and then look through the colour chart within the sticky in the tutorials and match the numbers up to the colour.
