It dosent say on the instructions, and it's difficult to tell from the pictures on the net is it solid red or metalic does anyone on here know.

Well here is todays update, the decals are the wrong size and gold instead of yellow and they don't say The Monkees just Monkees, but I cant help that, I think like the bat mobile this build is going to end up total rubbish.

.I think you will find it is Candy Apple over a Silver/Glitter Basecoat. Often called Metalflake.

If you don't know what candy Apple is, it is a translucent paint that relies on:

(1) The basecoat showing through

(2) How many coats of the candy apple you apply.

The more you apply, the deeper the colour gets, but still allows the basecoat to glitter through.

These are available from www.specialistpaints.com

They even do them in small pots for use in airbrushes.

Hoping this helps
