Default Red sunglo comparisons

I have an 08 crimson red sunglo.
Are any of the other years reds close enough not to notice a big difference ?
Red hot, ember, etc...

Depends on what you consider a big difference.

If you put two parts painted with the different Reds on the same bike, you WILL notice the difference.
It does not take much difference in color shade to notice when you place them side by side.

simple answer yes you will tell.... but this is why you have the painter spray paint cards so you can look at which one matched better and have him paint the bike as he sprayed the cards

Thanks for the input.

I was thinking of a ember front fender from ebay but have decided to hold off.

ember red vs crimson red, big difference. crimson is more dark red and ember red has a lighter orangish tint. but i will say the dupont spray paint at the part store has a pretty close match as long as they arent right beside each other like bag and lids. inferno red looks pretty close
