Looking to color match sheet of RED aluminum

Our process starts with a Pantone color book. We find the closest Pantone color and pull it into Flexi or Illustrator with a Pantone to CMYK tool or color table built-in. From there we may pick a few colors around it and print a sample to see how close we are. If we find a match, then great, if not we go back and convert to LAB and start making adjustments as necessary. Print about 10 blocks and go from there. Typically we can find a match in two to three prints. Sometimes you just can't match a painted sample with a printer and you'd have to go to a paint store and get an enamel paint match.

Or, if it's actually a vinyl overlay, then that works too.
