The kit decals are closer to maroon than red. Originally, I tried using Testors Dark Red, which was a perfect match, but that shit was SO hard to work with, either out of a rattle can or by airbrushing. Ultimatley, I wound up using Tamiya TS8, Italian red undercoated with TS17 aluminium, to make it a little darker and a little flatter. Seems to have worked. I think this car has close to a hundred decals all over it! Liatti certainly had some sponsorship coin to work with.
