gazza 76 Report post Posted August 4, 2020 Photo says it's Electric Blue But as you can see there is different shades depending on the light and direction, so it might be a case of near enough is good enough Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dangermouse 95 Report post Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Thanks for those photos Gazza they are very useful. Question is what is electric blue? I also read that they painted the car 'Shell blue' for the 1969 season. But then what is that In some photos it looks like it look a bluey grey... I had look and think Vallejo Andrea Blue looks close cheers DM Edited August 4, 2020 by dangermouse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slot car tragic 14 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 You could try having a look at the paint section in auto accessory shop like Repco. The Dupli-Color DST219 Tidal Blue might go close and it's metallic. Chris. Quote Late Model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
