Has anyone find a good match? I don't really have a good model shop in my area so I haven't been able to browse some of the model paints in person.

Also, may I ask why you want this color in the first place? Most people paint tjeir blasters anything but stock colors so my curiosity is peaked
Good luck! And welcome to Nerfhaven.

Gut the electronics, drill a hole in the shell, and attach a crank to the gear. Bam, crank-action stampede that doesn't require batteries, or even a trigger.

As to why I wanted to match the stock color, I just integrated a cycloneshock into my rapidstrike. The rapidstrike was already vinyl dyed a gray/white/black scheme. I really like the stock paint job on the cycloneshock and wanted to paint a few of the white areas of my rapidstrike red, to help them blend together.

I tried "Sunrise red" and "Regal Red" and they were a little off. I may just give up and go with the closest one.

Gotcha. Well maybe you could prime and repaint the cycloneshock the same red and gray as the rapdstrike. Its really not weird tor paint a red blaster a different shade of red. I just got done painting all of the orange parts of my stampede a brighter, fluorescent shade of orange.

that was my plan, i just wanted to make sure someone hadn't already found the "perfect" shade of red already.
Thanks guys
