I've seen TS-58 (light pearl blue) on the boards, here... beautiful colour. Plan to use it on my R34.
I haven't seen TS-59 (light pearl red) anywhere though. Has anybody done a car in this? Is it more pink than red? I plan to do a base coat of TS-12 orange on a '37 Ford (very rounded styling...fat-fendered, so to speak) with a light top-coat of a red, hoping to get a red-orange metallic effect. I may just use Metallic red for this, or Mica red. Which is better?
Also, I haven't been able to find TS-58 or 59 at my LHSs. For those that have used either paint, where did you get them, HLJ? What kind of shipping charges and duties would they have on 2 cans of paint to Canada?
Thanks in advance, guys.

The Light Pearl Red is really light, haven't sprayed mine yet, the cap is darn near pink! :confused:
