Fat Brian Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I need help figuring out the color of a future project. It's an odd seventies orange that is a bit lighter than anything I've seen out there. Does anyone know what this color is called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Looks like one of the farm tractor company colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Brian, it looks like a Pumkin orange, or a butterscotch maybe. Are you going to build it with the Detroit Diesel and the heavy truck chassis? I have extra Detroits if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Maybe this chart will be of help: http://scalemodeldb.com/paintcharts/modelmaster Paint selection is by manufacturer. Edited March 19, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks, I will take a look at that. Terry, I bought a 6-71 from Spaulding just for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 difficult to really get good color from the photo - but it looks like an orange that Ford had in their commercial/fleet colors - could be the same as grabber orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackvision Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Might be just the lighting in the picture,but that looks an awful lot like "school bus yellow" to me?...................................Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I might have it, it looks like a stock color called Sunset Orange 064. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Kind of surprised JT hasn't chimed in on this one. He's our orange expert! Edited March 21, 2015 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) After a few emails with the builder he said it was a Corvette orange metallic with gold flakes in the clear coat, I think this car looks pretty similar.
