Michael in Illinois Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Need help with the body color for the camaro Chase won with at Watkins Glenn. It was a 2018 Camaro. Its some sort of blue. I have everything but the paint to build the car that was his first NASCAR victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael in Illinois Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Thanks for the info and pictures, I didnt know that the wheels were like an orange metallic color. hopefully I can get this correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff9150 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 That car appeared to be a candy blue, almost like an early Hot Wheels "spectraflame" finish. Not really metallic to my eye. I would think layering transparent blue over a chrome-like finish would do it. Wheels were what I would describe as transparent orange over chrome. Here is a picture I took before the race, you can see how it looked in the sun. Beautiful car. Good luck with your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I used Splash Paints Lexus Blue Pearl Tricoat on my build. It’s a little purple, but has that depth of color I was looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Canuck Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Spectacular effort. More pics please. Love the detail under the hood. Where does one find those hood hinges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Here you go… the hinges were from MAS. They went out of business some time ago though. Every now and then some of their stuff pops up at shows or on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
