Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just received my kit and choosing a colour is the next step. If nothing else catchs me eye, it'll be Velocity Yellow just like my C6R that's on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocity Yellow, Atomic Orange, Victory Red, Monterey Red Metallic, Le Mans Blue, Arctic White, Machine Silver Metallic and Black.

Zoom Zoom Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Chevy site shows only the following 5 colors on an '06 Z06: Velocity Yellow Victory Red Machine Silver LeMans Blue Black Though I think I've seen pics of them (maybe '05's??) in Daytona Sunset orange.

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Based on this, LeMans Blue and black are looking the most appealing. Prolly go with black as my last Z06 is blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey John, They already answered about the colors. Just to say I think black is a very nice color for a Z06. For my second one, I will probably go LeMans blue and then if I have time for a third one, it will be black. It looks sinister 8) Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks Izzy! There's nothing more sinister than a black Z06. Welll....maybe a '68 L88 with a white interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Zoom Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Now ya done it Dave! I want an Atomic Orange Z06 and it doesn't look like Cobra Colors offers it. Bummer! Well, whydontcha email Leon and tell him you want it!! I'll bet he's already planning it. I told him awhile back about someone spotting Plum Crazy and Sublime Charger Daytonas at the factory, he got his info. and found out they are '07 colors, and they're on his list 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 As Bob mentioned, I was able to recently add some new '07 colors including Plum Crazy, Sublime & Ford's Grabber Orange, but I'm still trying to pin down Atomic Orange. August is kind of a hit or miss transition month for new colors, but I will definitely have it available as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Anyone know the drying time for Tamiya Sprays? I wanna build this Corvette yesterday but I refuse to rush the paint/sand/polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Tamiya sprays dry rapidly; but I use a dehydrator so I'm not sure if you are letting it dry in ambient conditions. In this summer heat overnight/24 hours should be fine. If you can still smell it, it's too wet. Put in a warm, dry spot and you can work on it in no time.

I'll give it a few days before I polish. We seem to have lost the heat wave we had as it's only 62 instead of 92 a week ago. I'm not complaining BTW. I'm a puddle when it's 92. It was over 100 with the humidity and that's way too hot for Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you; it's been about 95-98 degrees here for the past month and a half; everyone feels like they're hibernating from the heat, staying indoors in the A/C. They say it may get all the way down to 85 here over the weekend. Promises, promises :roll: :wink: And a food dehyrator really is an awesome tool; drying paint, primer, putty, warming cans of paint before spraying, drying off a model after washing, drying decals. I can't live w/o it But your model should be fine after a few days, Tamiya dries pretty rapidly. If it were Testors enamels I'd say you could deal with it by October.
