Status: offline 		Can someone who knows much more about paint than I do, tell me exactly what the color shown on this M346 is? As in a specific name that I could use to get a color match? Thanks very much!

Iv seen it at a show and it looks like a dark maroon metallic.

Worth a shot.

Seriously though, at least in my area the paint suppliers will not scan parts and custom mix up quarts anymore. You may run into the same thing. You may be limited to taking part of the airplane and matching to a standard color in their books. This will take some time on your part but do take the time to look through all the different color chips from DuPont, PPG, House of Color and any other paint manufacturers that may stock.

Status: offline 		Getting a scan done would require that he had that airplane and could take a part in.
As has been mentioned it is impossible to tell from a picture, particularly on a computer since every monitor will be a little different.
Glen, go into an automotive paint store like lordco and ask them to see the red color variant deck. Pick the color you like the best.
