Default Painting inlet manifold

Hi guys i want to re-paint my inlet manifold and i am looking for some crinkle paint to do it.Im aware of the VHT red crinkle paint but as they changed the shade of red awhile ago so it looks naff now.Im wondering if anybody has sourced a decent match for the impreza red yet?

The frosts paint is also available in black and that looks very nice.

i have had mine powder coated black.

but if i wanted the wrinkle red finish in the future, i would use the new colour to get the wrinkle finish, then colour match another red to put a top coat on it, so it looks OE finish then

Funnily enough I had that exact thought earlier today. Might have to try that.
