RC12i body color

Can anybody tell me what color this is supposed to be? Is it a stock color or a mix? I am going to do one of these and would like to know. Thanks guys.

Looks like an McLaren orange to me.

The closest you can get with out mixing a custom blend for an RC body are Pactra RC256 as a spray can (Competition Orange) or Parma 40007 for airbrushing (Fasorange)

Someone else was asking about this in another thread. The real car was a much brighter yellow than that RC12i from eBay. Do a google search for Cooke Woods Lola T600 and you will find several pictures of it.

Yeah, I reposted in the "Paint Shop" when I was getting no responses here. I have looked on the net. There are different colors in the pictures depending on lighting and satuaration of color in the photos. That is why, in part, I was asking here.

I was able to contact the owner of the car pictured here and got my answer though.

Thank you.

Those old film pics have terrible color. If you are big into GTP racing, I would totally suggest the following (might be overkill for one car), if you can find it cheap. It's a great reference. The price on the amazon is ridiculous, heck if they are getting that, mine is worth a couple thousand, as I have it autographed by a ton of 80/90s drivers:

I was a huge GTP fan back then. I lived in Salinas and went to Laguna Secca and Sears Point often. They are pretty proud of that book!
