Flat black, only one way to do that. This will have to be done on the outside of the body. Mask the outside of the body except the hood, or any other parts you want to be flat black, make sure you remove the protective overspray film first. Use Krylon ultra flat for the black areas, it will remain flexable once dried and wont chip off. I did a hummer completely flat black, it worked and looked great! The white I would use sprint white, it's the brightest cleanest purest white I have found. The red appears to be dark red, but it is difficult to tell for shure with the car in the shade. Sorry I don't have a color for you on that one but I have not used any red other than a bright red (pactra racing red)for a Dale Earnhardt Jr. body.
 
nc nitro is right on wiht the colors. the red to me looks like candy red backed with black.
 
Flat black seems to be real popular on 1:1 cars these days.
There was a Ford rally last weekend that had over 500 Fords of all ages. I was amazed at how many of the recently re-done cars and trucks were flat black. I do have to say they looked nice.
 
When you do the flat black on the hood, make sure it's also sprayed black on the inside. If you do the inside of the car in red, and it rolls on it's lid, the scratches on the flat black hood will show red.
I kind of doubt it's a candy red. More likely solid. You might try to find something on their site for Nissan Racing.
 
i dont think nissan's website will have anything on a 30yr old rally car. I might just try to find the best red at the shop and ask the guys there. Thanks anyway.

And how does part matt black on the outside and another colour painted on the inside look? does it look tacky and brocken or does it blend in? I'm thinking of just painting it all on the inside.
 
I think its like a tomato red. Looks like a really dull red to me.
And the black looking stuff Id say is Flat black or Charcoal grey. Carcoal grey looks alot like that in pics. But yeah I agree its hard to tell because its in the shade.
 
My point about painting the hood black on both sides is for scratches. If the hood gets scratched in a rollover, the flat black on the outside will scratch off. If it's black on the inside, you won't notice it, but if it's red, every scratch you get on the outside of the hood will be a red scratch.
If you want to get creative, spray the inside of the hood silver, and the outside flat black. When it gets scratched, it looks like it scratched down to bare metal.
I used to do that on the old Tamaya hard bodies. Spray them silver, then do the paint. The scratches looked like real 1:1 scrapes.
