Hi,

I was wondering if there is any substitute for the tamiya Ts-51 (Racing Blue)?

Thanks

I was think about this "Candy Blue Paint" from Zero paints

What do you guys think about it?

I think the Candy blue is too bright.Just ask Steve at Hiroboy to mix you a match to TS-51.He will be able to sort you out.

TS-51 is close to Telefonica blue, TS-51 is a little darker but you can control this by what you use as a base coat and how many coats you apply

Testors has a couple metallic blue colors that might work. Look at Blue Metal Flake and Arctic Blue Metallic.

What do you need it for, and how close a match do you want?

What can you get?

How do you paint?

Why won't TS-51 work?

Actually TS-51 is Telephonica Blue. And it was renamed Racing Blue when it was speced for the Williams. Both TS-51 Racing Blue and TS-51 Telephonica Blue share the same paint in the can.

I was referring to the REAL telefonica blue, TS-51 isn't an exact match to the real color.

Do you believe that TS-50 matches Subaru's WRB pearl?

But i'll work on a match for TS-51 Racing Blue very soon

If you mean the Subbies WRX, then you might want to try Mica Blue.

The Subaru Impreza WRC isn't Mica Blue as Tamiya has it prepared, the name of the color on the real car is a WR Blue Pearl variant similar to the road going WRX but not quite a match.

Duplicolor Twilight blue pearl is pretty close. The color has more pearl in it but the color itself, shade wise seems fairly close.
