Do any other cars come in a similar color red, got milano red spray paint from halfrauds, but its too bright compared to the car i know its something called a tri coat, but do other cars come as a similar color i can use?
 
How old is your car? Red paint does fade so the new can from Halfords will be brighter. If you take the paint code in they can mix paint fresh for you, also some paints have 2 or 3 variations on the colour.

Have you tried to give the surrounding area a polish to bring the paint back up? Red is a PITA to colour match aswell, needs a lot of blending.
 
with the car being around 10 years old, that's bound to happen since the original paint probably faded. i got a can from Touch Up Paint Online - Remove Car Scratches a while back and had a similar issue. they told me to do a little blending around the edges and that helped a bit, but it did take a while to do. The other thing you can do is go to a shop and have them mix paint for you based on your current color. that's probably the best way
 
cheers guys, will try giving the car a polish in the week if i get time....
may sound a stupid question but any way i can fade freshly sprayed parts?
 
Good Luck with getting some of the faded paint back.once been told by almost everyone that milano rd paint doesn't come back. I'm in the same situation.I've tried the touch up pens from halfords too. Only matched the door that want faded.
My cars got more shades of red than crayola do :)
