Excellent build! I've got this trans kit on its way to me as well.....I finally found something to make me want to build my tamiya r35

do you think it can suit both rims and lips or should I find some spray similar to x-10?

thank you very much for your time!

No problem.. Well, TS-71 to me is not suitable for the rims. But i have seen people used it for the rims. I would suggest you to find something similar but in the end its just personal preference.

i forgot to tell that i am doing the stock r35, not the amuse version.
did you paint the stock one with gun metal as well?

i am looking right now at the tamiya spray catalog and found that the x-10 gun metal is there also in spray (TS-38 gun metal), i think they are the same color.

so i guess i'll buy the spray gun metal for rims and lips. i would really like to use spray paint on external surfaces to get a more realistic effect.

Yes i paint them with gunmetal as well. But anyway, just for your info, TS-38 gun metal is different from the enamel X-10 because the metallic particles in the TS38 is way larger than enamel paints, even though their color maybe close.
