dwc43 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Everything on the engine except the intake will be painted industrial blue. That's an OSHA color. I believe both Northern Toll and TSC carries it. The suspension and bottom of the fuel tank is also Industrial Blue. everything else is Petty Blue and Day Glo Red. MCW will have the correct blue and red.

If you want to see the diff between Petty Blue and Ind. blue just send me your e mail addy and I'll send you some pics. I don't have pics of the exact car you are working on, but you can still see the paint difference. They painted there cars like this for years, and I have never run across the reason for the Ind. Blue color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw427 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Great Subject..Richard Petty. What about decals?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 http://members.optusnet.com.au/pattosplace/home.html Just find the section that will have 43 in it on the right. It has all the Petty decals that were ever made in any scale. Peel or water slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Spires Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 These will be better quality than those from Pattos. However, they are several years old, so it may be a good idea to coat them before using... http://www.mikesdecals.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_15&products_id=1004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
