silly question, but ....

What is the best Tamiya rattle can "red"? Looks like there are about a gazillion choices...

TS-85 - Ferrari Red
TS-8 - Italian Red (I thought Ferrari was Italian?)
TS-36 - Florescent Red
TS-33 - Hull Red
TS-86 - Brilliant Red
TS-49 - Bright Red
TS-39 - Mica Red
TS-95 - Pure Metallic Red
TS-18 - Metallic Red

Geez, Louise...........

How about a Bright Mica Metallic Italian Red Ferrari?

I suppose that the best red depends up what you need to use it for.

Yes, that might just work! And, yes it does depend on its use. I am after a generic red, like the Tamiya bottle red. Funny that in the jars, you get red (excluding hull red), but in the spay, all of these.

I did my Ducati in Italian red right from the rattle can.

Well, my favorite rattler is from Mr Hobby. Tamiya cans tend to spit a bit unless you are rigorous about a four minute shake period.

I believe the big variety is due to Tamiya RC product line, because most of these are gloss too.

Here's another view of TS-8 on Magnum's Ferrari:



Not the best shot, John's is a far better view on that Ducati.....

I hemmed and hawed between it and TS85, and in the end I couldn't see any major difference in online pictures so it came down to the cheapest can in stock off Ebay after shipping.
