Zero McLaren MP4 Red

[stevenoble]

First time using this 'newish' addition to the Zero paints range and I must say I am very impressed with the colour match.It really has got that little bit extra punch that the other paints I have used to replicate this colour have lacked.It covers really nicely and takes clear coat beautifully.If I'm honest when i look at this colour at the side of Tamiya TS-36 or the Finisher's MP4 Red they really don't come close to the real colour and look far too 'red'
Here's a few pictures of it on the engine cover of the Tamiya McLaren MP4/7 I am building at the moment.I hope to have a W.I.P thread up soon on this model.

Nice color indeed! I used TS-36 before and I have to say this one looks much closer to the fluorescent red used on the real McLaren F1s.

It's very clean work

TS-36 is BAD. It looks good in the beginning, but I have had cases where it did change colour into wine red after some time. And an even worse case where the perfect and smooth surface after some months disintegrated.

Yes Dave, I did use the Zero Pure White.Tamiya primers underneath.Cut down Tamiya masking tape for the masking.Decals are FMD models and Zero 2K clear coat on top.
