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?

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