Marlboro Color

[Gregg]

Anyone know of a good or close match for the Marlboro Orange?

I am building the Revell-Germany BMW M1, have the Scale Production decals for it, thought it would be a good look variant.

Thanks

Gregg - try Model Car World. Dave has a Marlboro Red flourescent paint that I've been using for years. You will need to have a bright white base coat for it, and build the fl. red up slowly. The red will dry completely flat, so you will want to put a coat of clear on before decaling the body. Hope this helps!

You could also try to look for Finisher's Formula Red. This is a 2 bottle paints set used to recreate the Ferrari F310B Malboro Red. I got my Finisher's paints from Rainbowten.com in Japan. I don't know if it's the correct match, but, could give it a try, pretty nice stuff, the best paint I've used ever.

I've been using Tamiya TS-36 Fluorescent Red. (It's what they spec for their Marlboro/McLaren cars.)

It needs a white base coat, but dries glossy. A clear coat is nice to really make it shine though.

At least it is glossy enough that you can decal right over it without worries of silvering...
