Hey guys,
on my red 94 GPX, iremoved the spoiler, sand papered some of the parts where the screws were and went to 'Robbos' on canterbury road where i purchased a red spray to cover some of the marks.
I applied the spray,left it for a week thinking that after i polished the area that i sprayed it would shine like the normal colour...
any suggestions, as it hasnt
lol

even with clear coat i dont think you'll be able to match the original colour/texture, but better than nothing i guess.

Did you get a proper colour match. I know if you go to spray paint specialists, theyll colour match your paint and provide you with a pressure pack can. If it isnt a proper match, there will be nothing you can do short of doing it again. Colour codes are here:

Actually its not
Its the same as mine & I had some matched up last year. R71 is actually identical to a particular type of Mazda red thats available off the shelf. I'll look up the paint code of it when I get home

vielside combat wing .. i already painted yellow so i don't think it suits your red.
as for price, i want to get back what i already spent on it BUT the orginal cost from dstock was cheaper then that.
you should ask dstock to keep an eye out for you.
