So the AX5 Merlot Pearl is in rattlecans? I've searched over here in the UK and haven't turned anything up yet, I wonder if there is an indentical paint under a different name/number
for the red color i use Duplicolor Metal Cast Red Metallic and i think it matches perfectly the dark still bright color of the suit, specially if you put a light pray coat of Gun metal, ill take some pics for you to see
He's the color samples I was looking at last weekend. From left to right, Claret red metallic, Toreador red metallic, and red garnet metallic. I think I'm going with the Claret red since I like the more burgundy red. These were all Duplicolor 8 ounce cans.

It seems like finding the perfect "Iron Man Red" paint has been a long running debate. Most of the red paints I've seen used here just seem slightly off, either too bright or too dark. Has anybody considered doing a paint color match against the Sideshow Collectibles Iron Man bust?
This bust was based on on production used molds and supposedly is accurate in color. Looks just right to me.
