I'm looking to paint my protons like the Hooligan Bike Tech guy, the only thing different I want to do is paint them transparent red to match my bike. There are 4 of different shades of red so I am wondering which one you guys would get to match.

Bright Red

Mica Red

Italian Red

Fluorescent Red

They all look the same on my screen except for the Mica Red.

Since it is going on your protons, I would go with the lightest and brightest color to still reflect and trasmit the light. Darker colors absorb light and might keep the protons from being as bright as they could be.

That's a good call, it makes sence to get the lighter color so it'll transmit light better.
