Senna McLaren

[RedAl]

I'm currently painting an F1 shell in the Senna McLaren livery but am struggling to find a suitable airbrush red. Can anyone suggest one ?

Using Jons Createx stuff, fluro red, back it with red, then white....

yeh, i tend to mix a tiny bit of trans red in with the flo red. lay that then back with white.
test first if in doubt

That car was Fluro, definitely. My mate has some of the colour, real deep orange, almost red.

Jon's idea about mixing the transparent is your best bet.

spot on, the actual car was painted in "Marlboro orange" which is a very bright luminous red / orange. just on TV & when photographed it looked deep red because the cameras can't pick up the dayglo colours
