Painting Lancer Evo VII WRC
I am working on the New Tamiya Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII WRC (TAM24257) and unsure which colour to paint the body, the instruction say Tamiya Color Spray: Bright Red (TS49) but having done a few test samples on plastic card it looks far too bright with a white primer and too dark with a grey primer, last Evo (VI) was airbrushed using X7 (red) which worked very well, but I find spraying a whole car with a airbrush is a bit hard to get a good wet finish.
 Any comments and ideas welcome Steve P.S. where are the Malboro Decals (It looks crap without them) Yes I know in M.C. it did not run with them

damn...
I have this kit too.... the whole kit was sprayed with primer a few days ago and when i wanted to start on it, it appears that my air brush needle was bent! All thanks to my friend... TO get a wet finish, you gotta add more thinner...

I think TS-49 is an accurate match. Plus, if any of the red on the body is included as decals, it will not match any other red except TS-49.
I did an Evo VI in TS-49, and had no complaints with the color.

Tamiya are very good with there colours.....if thats what they are asking for then it will be pretty darn close to the real thing
Good luck with the model, hope to see some pics as you are the first i know that has the kit.

OK I have given it 3 coats of primer, and 2 coats for TS49 and it is looking OK. I knew you guys would know best.
  Chears Steve P.S. Does anyone have any interior photos of the Evo VII WRC Car ?
