Which TS paint is the closest to Subaru WRC blue?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys. Which tamiya TS paint is closest to subaru wrc blue? I've had a look online and the closest I have found is TS-19. Is that the best? The PS-16 used on the Avante looks great but isn't suitable for a hard body. It's hard to judge the colour by the cap lid so I've been trying to find examples that have been painted. Thanks for any help

TS-19 if you want to match PS-16 - this is what Tamiya state for  the plastic spoilers for the polycarbonate Impreza bodies. For 1/24 Impreza WRC models they specify TS-50 Mica Blue. This has a smaller flake than TS-19 so better for smaller models.

Great thanks Truck. TS-19 it is then. Does it need a gloss clear on top or is it glossy enough with just a few coats of the TS-19?

It is surprisingly glossy with no clear coat at all. I found that I didn't need a clear coat in order to match the finish of the polycarbonate parts.
