Ramon,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Ferrari Expo last weekend and getting a chance to view your work in person. I knew it was an incredible model but after viewing your WIP thread I'm left totally in awe!

It's a mix I made with Testors Enamels, I started with Dark Red (gloss) and added some drops of royal blue and a few of brown until I got the desired color I really don't know the exact proportions because I made it adding paint drop by drop until I got the desired color and didn't take any notes.
I wanted to get a color similar to red wine
But I is very easy, if I have to do it again I would start adding three drops of royal blue and a little one of brown to a small bottle of dark red (1/4 FL.OZ) and go from there.

For the leather finish a coat of semigloss clear (6:4 - glosscote:dullcote) will do the trick.
