Big Brute Yellow Pactra?

[RCveteran]

Anyone know the closest spray can Big Brute Yellow? Big Brute is my next project.

That one combined with various NIP and another nice roller I can probably come up with 3 Brutes at this point but once I build the one I want I will let go of most of the parts collection. This truck is what I remember most as a kid bashing around with.

Very nice!! I would paint it blue like the monster truck blue.

Mine was yellow when I was a kid so I am duplicating it.

So you are not a kid anymore? I don’t understand what a grownup doing on this forum?

Kyosho had their own paint at one time called Polyca. It came in 12 colors as I understand it. I think the yellow was part# 2230Y.

I just so happen to have a yellow painted Big Brute body, and a can of yellow Tamiya Color TS-16 paint sitting here. Its very close, maybe a shade or two darker. Although It might become lighter once sprayed on lexan.

TS-16 does look pretty close to me. Close enough to make me happy in fact. Thanks.

Good point playing with a toy yellow truck it is hard to consider one grown up This is a sickness, I convinced myself this would just be a nice stock rebuild but suddenly a Thorp Ball Diff, Gears and Axles are calling me.
