I would look at the toners for the paint system you use and see how that colour sits and shifts (face and side tone).
red will either shift to orange or to violet. You should look for the toner that is closest to the centre of red and either just spray that toner (if it looks ok) or use a paint formula that tends to mostly utilize that toner. However, you need to think of the other 2 dimesions as well (value and chroma) to ensure the colour is bright/intense enough (saturation/chroma) and light enough (value, how black or white the colour is).
A colour chart or colour wheel for your paint system will help a lot. Your jobber should be able to hook you up with one, or at least show you one.
