Monty Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Over the years I've seen a lot of people show some incredible paint jobs using Tamiya's TS-series spray paints and I was wondering if someone had outside pictures of separate models painted with TS-8 (Italian Red) and TS-49 (Bright Red). I'm asking about outside pictures because I think that gives me the best way to compare the two shades, as indoor pics seem to have an effect on how the paint actually looks. TIA for all helpful replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440 6BBL Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 TS-86 Pure Red on the Pinto and TS-8 Italian Red on the Chevelle. I really love working with Tamiya spray paints. My favorite choice for painting a body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I appreciate your help in showing me what Tamiya's Italian Red looks like. I guess I was expecting it to look more red-orange a la Testors Italian Red and Humbrol Ferrari Red.BTW, welcome to our board! After checking out the two builds above as well as your current Mopar project, I'd have to agree that Tamiya paints work very well for you.

935k3 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The lids on their cans give an accurate vision of what the paints look like. Primers or undercoats will affect the color. Reds,whites, yellows and orange should have a white base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Any color other than black or silvers, should have white primer to bring out the true color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
