Check around for vehicle wrap companies. They should have sample books, swatches and photos of their work. If they don't, then look for someone else. Good wrap shops should have 3m 1080 series and Avery ( can't remember the series) wrap swatch books. The consultant may be the same person wrapping vehicles or know the process. They can advise you which colors would work the best. In some cases, the color might need to be printed to get a closer color match to your liking.

good luck!

You can buy the 3M swatch books off Amazon for not much money. This way you can visibly tell if it's a match, as I'm sure your paint has faded over time.

yeah, I already went to 1 shop with a few different sample books but the guy said this red is pretty hard to match with a wrap, everything is almost to orange or to dark red. Was just curious to see if anybody has found a color and brand that matches well

paint is surprisingly well on this truck for being 11 years old now. But I already went to a shop and every color red had to much orange in it or it was to dark.
