I just sprayed mephiston red spray on my land raider and tried touching up my edge highlights with the regular mephiston red. The color difference was unreal, the spray was almost orange and the mephiston red was..... red.

Sorry you found this out after spraying.

I've always found this with GW sprays they are horrendous for colour matching.

What do you think I should do? I dont really want to have all my guys be orangey red or just have my tank be orangey red and the rest of my guys normal.

Thin your brush paint and go over the tank. Short of an airbrush you are pretty limited

I would strip the model but it takes to much work, do you think it would look ok to just keep it orange and have the rest of my army reg red. I am not sure.. I dont like the airbrush idea. It might go on to thick and it will def waste a lot of paint.

Maybe a red ink wask?

You could also weather the hell out of it

Get an airbrush - even a cheap one - and go over the whole thing. Maybe you can just borrow one?

Or strip it and start over...

You should put a wash of a red glaze to harmonise the differance colours.
