Never made twins before, at the same time (all rattle can):

This one is Tamiya Pearl white backed in Spaz solid white backed in tamiya silver backed in spaz high gloss black.



This one is Tamiya Ferrari 'mica' red backed in Tamiya silver (to try to darken the red) backed in spaz solid white backed in spaz high gloss black.


The red is truly the Ferrari red. Wasn't the color I was interested in though. I think the one I wanted is called Rosso 70 Anni, which is a smidge darker than the Rosso Corsa or Rosso Portofino (this 'mica' is probably closest to Rosso Corsa with Tamiya plain red being Rosso Scuderia). The Rosso Monza and Rosso Mugello are a tinge too dark (take the same color and just back in black instead of white although there's a touch of burgundy to the hue).

As "Ferrari Red" is just pure red with a hint of green in it, I didn't want to blend a custom paint just do a rattle can with what's off the shelf, but in the future to get the color I would probably have to spray a tamiya translucent red, or maybe Spaz candy apple red since it's a darker hue, with a solid backer in a non metallic (since Ferrari paints don't have that metal flake in them I can't back in gunmetal or light gunmetal because it will look too candy).

How did you do the number and Malboro? Stencils? If so did you use a plotter/cutter or ? I'm thinking I might invest in some kind of CAD cutter. Or is there something better?

one more, third verse same as the first. Ferrari makes 3 yellows to my knowledge. Fly, Modena, and a tricoat version of Modena. This was supposed to be the latter but ended up being the middle. To to the latter I would probably spray Tamiya clear pearl backed in Tamiya yellow. oh well.

This one is Spaz Solid Yellow, backed in a half coat of spaz solid white and half of Tamiya pearl white (because that's all the white cans I had remaining).
Then backed in one coat of Spaz silver metallic to reflect out a bit before being backed in Tamiya Gunmetal for the stripe and lastly just backed in Spaz gloss black for the other stripes and trim. It's tricky to photograph the shade is sensitive to lighting, sort of like the real thing.
