Glittery? You mean like in metallic?
They are both metallic colors, Mica Red is darker than Metallic Red.

What color do YOU want to paint it? It is your model....build it how you want;)

Well, if you are doing a replica of the car from that link in your sig, you should try match the colours.

BTW, why does it say mini on the can, is it paint for the mini-z's or something?

Cuz the cans are the small sizes for models. They are 3oz. i think.

If u would like to see my most recent blueprint of my EG or new info on it go here http://www.geocities.com/fuzion4859/Projects.html

They say mini because thats how tamiya has labelled them
some don't say mini, some do, but it's the same size bottle.

I have not seen anybody do a "Signal auto" orange theme yet, that would look SWEET!! If somebody does not beat me to it I may try it myself.

OIC. I think that color doesnt look good for my EG, that my opinion though. I im still thinking of whut color i should paint my car, i think im probably goin to paint it Light GunMetal. But these are some other colors i liked too Mica Red, and Susuka Blue. Tell me whut color u like best in those 3. Thanx:)

WHAT ARE U TRYING TO GET FROM THIS? someone gave their opinion, you don't like it, so your not going to paint it that color. Obviously you are you going to paint it the color you LIKE, so stop wasting space :)
