http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/1100-mg-sazabi-ver-ka/ – what I did was three different undercoats – white, grey and black and the same red on top of each. That gave me the differentiation I needed. I dunno if that works with your spray cans, but you could experiment and see.
ill try that out and see what happens but before wht kinda red should i just use normal red or like madder red or somethin else
I don’t use spray cans so I’m unfamiliar with the colours – perhaps someone who uses cans can help you out.
alright thanks for the advice but if thats the case what kind of red did u use then
First I put down an undercoat of either Alclad gloss black, grey, or white primer. Then the red I used was Createx pearl red. I then finished with a coat of Tamiya clear red on top.
if you want the actual colors from the manual I did a bit of digging and found the mixes they tell you to use:
red1
——
shine red 90%
white 5%
orange 5%
few drops grey
red 2
——–
shine red 95%
russet 5%
few drops white
few drops grey
red 3
——–
russet 65%
shine red 35%
few drops white
few drops grey
on another note finding out about that russet paint wasn’t easy it’s not even listed on the color charts.
