i want the same color as the nsx in the pic. if someone could verify that the ts-19 color is the same. if not can u suggest something that would be close or the exact same. thanks

Just trying to help, Ts-19 is metallic blue which you probably know.

It is similar but probably not the same.

Tamiya metallic colors will have I guess metalic flakes in them and that car does not have flakes in them.

So I guess you will have to look for another color.

Just a tip, you have to clear coat metallic colors or lacquer them, what ever you want to call it.

Hope I have helped.

ya im not looking for anything metallic, so guess ill have to find something else

Maybe Mica blue ?

I'm not sure.

This model has TS19 on it, it is a very nice medium blue metallic.

It's a beautiful color, similar but the real difference is the flakes.

I've painted a model in metallic blue before.

Actually twice.

It's weird because the firs time I used it it came out bright them the 2nd time I used it it came out dark.

I guess it's because the coat underneath it was not as dark in my first attemt than it was in the 2nd attempt.

I first used Tamiya grey primer which is not as dark as testors grey primer.

The 2nd time I used testors grey primer which is much darker.

the metallic blue is pretty nice, but i dont want that for my itr. is the mica blue the same color as the wrc impreza's? that just might be what im looking for. i also love that shade of blue on the s2000, its called monte carlo blue

Tamiya Mica Blue (TS-51?????) is the color Tamiya created to use on their various WRC 555 Imprezza's.

The blue NSX in the picture is mica color, so TS-50 is a close match.

My idea, and a rebuttal by Veyron...
