Rob Hawkins Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshaver Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 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.

Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It is Le Mans Blue, not Lemons, that would be yellow! LOL Shake & Bake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadhawg Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 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 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.

wagonmaster Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I've been using http://www.scalefinishes.com/ lately for factory colors. Great service, and shipping is free.

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. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdurg Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory22 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
