Color me red

Well,

I just returned Sunday from the All British Car meet in Palo Alto.  I was 
hunting for the right red to paint my car.  It was surprising to me how 
many people said "Gee... I dunno?".  Anywho, I did find a color that 
pushed my buttons.  The owner said that he had it painted at a local 
Miracle Auto Body shop.  The name of the color is 'Swift Red'.  It is a 
little darker than the 'Miata Red' that I saw and also liked.

So I live about 200 miles from the paint shop that painted his car.  I 
don't want to take it up there for paint (I plan on stripping everything 
down and towing it to the painter).  So, does anyone out there know if 
'Swift Red' is a standard color for anything?  I would really like to 
have the paint mix codes so my local paint guy can mix it up himself.  I 
thought that Miracle Auto Body might have been a chain although there are 
none in my area.  I haven't called the guy in San Jose that painted the 
car I saw.  Are paint codes secret?  If I just called him up and asked, 
do you think he'd give me the codes?

Any ideas?

TIA

Doug Gaither
