Does all the PS colors have a corresponding color in TS/ X versions?

[Jorgen 56]

Im thinking about doing the Lotus Europa in PS 52 but noticed that the sidemirrors should be painted in TS color according to the manual.

Are there corresponding colors between the different types of paint?

 

Thanks

I think some have a corresponding color, but not all.

I think TS75 matches PS52?

I use this app for color matching but there seem to be no equivalent for PS52 in any other Tamiya paint range.

However a typed in search for "champagne" shows up this.

So TS-75 is what you want.

Note that there are a few other close matches so you may need to pick exactly what you want.

I had used mica red on a model I had 3d printed and it looked great. Nice metallic sparkle. Wanted to replicate the colour on an RC shell and when I sprayed that with the PS mica red, it literally is just a gloss bright red. One thing I do now is look the paint code up on Google images and you can usually find pics from forums posts of peope's finished projects and that can give you a fairly good idea of what you'll be getting.

A real Lotus Europa has chrome mirrors.

When I did my Beetle, I just primed the rear license plate hood (Tamiya Primer) and used the same PS corsa gray..

True. The Tamiya 1/24 model has chrome mirrors but the rc car is shown with body colour mirrors . If yo want chrome try Molotow chrome pens
