Body color question

[mklfy]

So I have ordered the kraken sx-5 kit for my Baja, but I'm looking to paint the body panels red but a specific red like this picture below, so if anyone can tell me what paints to use to get his red
or close to it it will be great.

Work in a body shop so gonna have to say that is not red but a custom color . A pro painter could figure it out but that's not coming out of a spray can. You would have to mix yourself and do spray out till you find the right combo. Looks like pearl and metallic color.

Check spaz stix line of paint

I have done something similar. I applied Spaz Stix Candy Apple Red, followed by silver backer, followed by black backer.

@Ferrebee88 I agree with the black backer as that car looks dark.

Alright, so since the spaz stix is not available where i live, i went with the Tamiya ps-15 metallic red then followed by silver and it came out looking pretty good. I will post some pics when im done painting and mounting.

So I got the panels, cut and painted them with tamiya ps-15 and silver for backing and it came out pretty good!

It's always nice when a plan comes together!
