• What's the difference between Tamiya lacquer TS18 Metallic Red and TS95 Metallic Red. *NM*
  • 77 *NM*
    • 🤣 You're not right! 🤣 *NM*
      • You mean in the math or the head!! *NM*
  • The TS95 Metallic Red is a newer color I think it was to replicate a Mazda color. *NM*
    • I would have to look at their color chart again. *NM*
      • Yes Mazda - *LINK*
  • It helps to spray a little test panel over your usual primer for similar colors. I ran into that on various "Pullman Greens" for a RR project. *NM*
  • The difference is TS-95 version of red paint contains finer grains of metallic particles compared to TS-18 Metallic Red *NM*
  • I recently painted a car that TS-18, and didn't like the way it turned out....sorta washed out. My favorite metallic red (more like a candy apple red) is Duplicolor's Metalcast red. Just sayin'. *NM*
    • Duplicolor Cherry Red Metallic is another great color. *PICS*
      • Yep, time for a listen one more time to "Brokenheartsville" ;^) See the enclosed *NM* *LINK*
        • "Maybelline" is more my style... *NM*
    • Duplicolor's Metalcast is basically a candy paint.... *PIC*
      • Maybe the red is, but... *PIC*
      • I too like the Duplicolor Metal cast red and use it a lot. It looks really good. *NM*
