As a guess I would say Tamiya Brilliant Blue (PS-30)
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

Wow, I need to get a body and paint it box art for my Graphite.
I never bothered putting a body on it, the chassis just looks amazing, but this is the go.
It's a Viper body, right?
Mmmmm, vintage graphite...Man, I need to lose the rear Losi tires, does anyone have a pair of Associated tires for sale, or trade?

That's a very nice Graphite! 8)
Actually, the box art car is a Protech II body.
Like you, I also have restoration work completed on a Graphite car. I have a Viper body trimmed and ready for paint then discovered that this car came with a Protech II. Anyway, I've sourced a decal set from MCI and a body from Penguin so just need to confirm which Tamiya paint comes closest to the box art color.
Please post some pics when you have your car finished? :D

Thanks mate! :wink:
It is a Protech 2, I should know this, but I've been Losi-ing it up around here, lately.
I would almost bet money that the blue on the box art body is Pactra Faskolor Fasfleurecent Blue. Betchya.

I certainly will share some photos when the paint is done...As long as you do the same! :mrgreen:
Such a shame covering that gorgeous graphite chassis, though...

I always thought the Graphite cars looked weird with no front bumper, so I bought the RPM one you see on my car.
100% improvement.

I bought an RC10 Graphite for $40 that someone had snapped the front kickup off and bolted JRX2 running gear onto it..poor car!
Can't find a photo of that mess, but I did find a shot of a Protech 2 with Graphite box art paint...
