which Tamiya blue and red Ford GT

[youpey]

Can anyone tell me which Tamiya TS Spray paint for the blue and which red is the most accurate for the Revell Ford GT Lemans?

Which year are you doing? If it's 2016 or 2017 then I'd go with TS15 for the blue and TS49 for the red. I have done both years with Gravity's blue and red and they're a bit darker than the Tamiya sprays. I'd test the colours on parts with a white primer and a grey. I think you'll need to use the grey primer to get them a bit darker.

If you want to do 2018/19 cars you'll need metallics as they switch up the colours for the last two years of the program.

Unfortunately I ordered paints yesterday. The reference picture I had must have been one of the newer ones where the colors were metallic. I ordered TS 95 and TS 51. Both to go overtop of mica silver.  From my research that looked the closest to me. 

Thanks for the help. When the paint arrives, I will test it and post my opinion

There are minimal differences between the 2017 and 2018 cars (the metallic colours being the big one) so it really wont matter too much. You can buy a set of decals from either Indycals or Shunko to do the 2018 cars from either Le Mans or Daytona with the correct sponsorship decals. But unless someone looks really close, the kit decals will do. Good luck.
