Rio red and torch red paint, close enough to mix?

I have a Rio red 99 cobra, and I really want to upgrade the wing mirrors to nicer looking, preferably red mirrors. I wonder If anyone can answer this for me; If I were to buy MMD torch red mirrors, would they stick out from the Rio red body or blend in?

Or does anyone know where to get Rio red paint so I could paint them myself? I'd also like to paint over some chips/marks in the body anyway.

You are better off having body shop paint those items with Rio Red. Torch Red would not be a close match in my opinion. Rio Red has a dark tint to the color. IMO Rio Red Tint is a nicer color in my opinion.

Since they are not right beside each other you may be able to put the torch red mirrors on your car and not notice a color difference. I don't know how to post pictures yet but I painted my mirrors a Toyota red I had sitting around and you honestly can't tell a difference at all because the colors aren't touching each other
