Candy apple colours

Anyone in here a spray painter, or knows bout paints??
I'm planning to paint my gem in a candy apple red and have heard it is impossible to match to do repair work if needed. Is this true?. I know the paint is different to other colours coz it is a film sort of liquard over a coloured base, but want to know if touch up work is possible, coz i dont wanna be caught out down the track with panel work to do to find out i have to respray the whole car to have it the same colour again.
Any info would be great.

iworked could match anything you just need a realy good painter but it will be costly

will do.
also ask him how much he will charge to paint flames up the front end over the front guards and bonnet... i'll supply the paint and do all the sanding.
