Hi to all you, I'm planning to use this new tamiya spray can, I would like to know if anyone has just used it, and precisely, wich is the best backing color, white or silver? Ciao.

I haven't used ps61, but I have used ps21(fluorescent red). It's the one for the porsche rsr body. The color is bright with a white backing. But what I did to test it, cut off a scrap piece of lexan body, about the size of s business card. And test spray it, all ps61, mask off half and spray with a backing of each color. That way you can see how it looks in the light. I started doing this with all my cans of paint. That way I have a reference color already in a "swatch", sort of like going to the paint store and they have hundreds of color samples in a ring to match the right one.

I will post pics when I can dig my samples out and show you what I mean.

Pink, red & gold are also possible.

And black if you want a darker shade
