Haha Naw don't work or live in one. Im a regular at my hobby store and all he sells is Tamiya (Paints) and my dad has a box full of half used ones that I just use for the occasional touch up and I keep them correct so they dont go bung. Also an ex warhammer guy I pretty good with a Fine Hand brush on litle things but whenever I try touch ups on Xmods I screw up .

Cant give to many hints, theres 10 bucks on the line! haha.

the color is beautiful. its metallic read, so it really sparkles and looks great. (if it was finished anyways) but im just not happy with it on this body. I think the new color i have coming will be tons better to my eye.

but ill tell you this. its not a original subaru color. its not even close to red. and its not a fruity color like rainbow haha.

mmm Fruity Colours: Pink ( :O ) , Orange, Yellow, Lime Green, Deep Purple (Haha Lmao Just had to say that)... Maybe a mix between a purple and darkish red... Can't possibly be a brown (Y'know kiwi fruit ). Maybe a Metallic Brown but meh it is a subbie and Imo I dont think it would suit the car. Maybe like a Red/Yellow/Green/Orange/Purple Toning a Five Some Tone .

Im Hungry Now -_-

Maybe a Kandy/Fruity Colour?

Im not exactly thinking of specific paints or anything cause im getting tired but colours do come to mind.

Peace,
Shallows

Curse them long, thin, straight lines eh? Teeth on a 3cm figure are easy, long lines aren't. And cintadel paint SUX!

SPR, excellent choice, metallics rock everything.

Agreed there is also technique into painting them. I quit doing it because I didn't actually play I just enjoyed the freedom and paiting them making them realistic. I also didn't have the cash. I would buy tamiya just basing it close to what citidel paint it was but Citidel pants are Unique and very odd colours with cool names.

Ummmm Sorry for going of topic mods and what not .

Peace,
Shallows

Heres the final paint job. Im 100% happy with it. And its 100% done

Only took just a couple layers of blue, it covered very nicely, let it dry, and then sprayed the Pearl Clear coat on it, let it dry, and now its touchable... but still a little soft. But here ya go!
