GM factory paint colors?

[Rob Hawkins]

I saw a post here of a camaro and the modeler was using a rattle can of factory GM paint. I'm looking for Lemons Blue from the '68 corvette/camaro.

Thanks,

Rob

i asked revell if its possible to use a factory close color on a box stock class.that would get one build done for two things for me!....hadnt heard nothing back yet though

Rob, yer in luck as Model Car World probably has what you need . I met the owner in Conover once as he was at the Carolina Kustom Classic near Winston Salem . great guy to deal with I might add. Check out his resin stuff . He's the one who makes all the sedan bodies and even a Pontiac Tempest station wagon kit . If you just need a reference , try Auto Color .com too. Ed Shaver

It is Le Mans Blue, not Lemons, that would be yellow! LOL Shake & Bake!

I've been using http://www.scalefinishes.com/ lately for factory colors. Great service, and shipping is free. And all this talk about Le Mans and Le Mo and Lemons reminded me of the 24 hours of Lemons..... http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/

What difference does it make what color you paint it? Box Stock is about building it strictly from the parts that come in the box, it has nothing to do with what color you paint the model.

I agree with Scalefishes. plus you only have to buy one 2 oz bottle instead of 2 one oz bottles. To me the guy from modelcar world seemed like a jerk. I emailed him about a certien color, I got a real rude answer back.

It might not be the EXACT same color as Lemans Blue, but Medium Quasar CC Blue is a pretty close match. Rust-Oleum makes an Automotive Touch-Up paint that I used on my '05 Corvette. It's ATU 6027, and GM code 80, WA9544. Below are some pictures of my car. The lighting plays a big part in the coloration.

I work at a GM dealership and if you go to the parts counter they have half ounce bottles of lacquer paints they use for touch ups. They work great and you can order any GM colour!
