If you go to Automobile Paint colors on Google you will get to a site that lists all the cars and their paint codes for the year and madel of car. I save me a lot of time going to my body and fender supply shop which is a distance for me now. Ed Shaver

The color is paint code Q5 "Bright Turquoise."

Hope that helps.

I got back to work on the Belvedere i stripped off the old primer that i sprayed about 2 years ago. Once the body was nice and clean i sanded it down with some 320 grit sandpaper to prep the body for primer. For the time being i resprayed the body with Valspar Gray primer which is an enamel paint. I finally found the color its Model Master Turquoise Metallic part no.#2945 its not exactly accurate as the movie car but its close. I'll have progress pics on Monday my camera is being repaired.

Heres the progress pics of this build i had the body in painted but it went in the purple pond because the paint had a lot of orange peel i couldnt have that so its gonna get reprimered & painted. The engine is a 440 ci that came out of a Revell 68 Charger R/T im in the process of ordering a tranny from Competition Resins since this car is gonna be a automatic.

I like it. not to sound mean but whats up with the wheels and tires, they look a little off from the movie car. I think you want a set of cragers from the amt '65 El Camino or Chevelle wagon, there a bit closer also you might want a set of amt good year polyglas gt tires with the raised lettering.

that's what I have on my GTO

I can get a better pic for you if you like.

Nick- Thanks for the tip i went through my parts box i happen to have those wheels but it didnt look right the wheels i have on there now look a lot more detailed im not looking for accuracy as far as the tires go im gonna order some Shabo tire decals for that. Again thanks for pointing that out.

please, oh please, find a store that sells "Schleich" animals and

buy a Buck Deer for the backseat.

That scene in the movie with spade, farley and the buck in the backseat just kills me.

great replica!

I finally got it right this time the last paint job had an orange peel so that paint job went into the purple pond and now it has a fresh paint job its painted Model Master Turquoise Metallic i know its not accurate but its the closest shade i could find.
