Vibrant Red Engine Cover paint

Hey guys,
I've been trying to find a color that closely matches or is as red as I can get to my car.
I have a Vibrant Red 2011 G37.
Tryin to pain the engine cover to give it a little pop, I don't like the stock silver on it plu sit's got some fading going on too.

I tried Ford Red (from the local autozone) via can spray and that looks completely orange when comparing to my car.

Any help on what color or where they would sell?

Last resort is bodyshop but I know they will be expensive.

I dont recall off top my head which exact red I used but it was a Rustolium Red, or you may want to look at Krylon as well.

You can purchase OEM paint in spray cans. Approx $30 shipped for one 12.5 oz can. For example:
