Paint Question

Hey there! I really hope this is the right place to post this, and I apologize if its not. I've found myself in a rather odd situation.
My car has been totalled out due to the recent hail storm and insurance is giving me some money to fix it.
I've always wanted a new paint job because the woman who owned this car before me beat it to crap and clearly didn't understand the concept of touch up. or just not slamming your doors into other cars. but anyway.
My dad had a 929 with a spectacular paint job that I would like to do for my car. I know someone who can do the paint job, the only problem is finding what the paint was so we can mix new. If anyone can help I would be most grateful. The paint was maroon with metallic red flecks, possibly mica.
Please note I have searched the we and found many codes for mazda paint but none comes with swatches or pics. I know most of you are into the new mazda's but perhaps some of your love is long lasting.
thanks guys!
 
Was it a custom color? Do u still own the vehicle that the color was on?

Best bet would be to go to ur local auto paint supply store and look at swatches! They should have a whole book of mazda colors with paint codes and sample colors. And they can mix it for u right there!
 
It wasn't custom luckily, but we had to give it up 3 years ago. And thanks, I will try that. Though I'm not sure we have an auto paint store here. just things like autozone =(
