Is there any spray paint that is close to the "Red Metallic" color?

I just recently bought a Smart car. Long story short, my uncle bought it new in 2008, he sold it in 2012, and just recently got it back from the previous owner. My uncle since then found another Smart that he liked better with less miles, so now I am driving Nemo! I am very happy with the car! My uncle bought ground effects for it, and I have to say it looks awesome with them, but the guy he sold it to decided to spray paint them. It looked horrible. I got most of the paint off but the back had to be sanded because it was a layer that literally had to be chipped away. The rest just rubbed off with tlc. Has anyone come across a color that is even remotely close to the red metallic? I know it has more of an orange tint to it. I am not really wanting to go have it professionally painted right now. I can't afford that, but I want it to look better than it did
