Guards red is probably the toughest color out there to match, and made worse by the age of your car's existing paint.

Find a reputable body shop with references, that is experienced at paint matching. Be warned though, that you will likely still be able to tell a difference. This difference will be more pronounced when the paint is dull and dirty- you can minimize the effect by keeping the car clean, buffed, and waxed.

Good luck - I feel your pain
