Has anyone figured out how to recreate the paint? Or is Tamiya PS-54 as good as it's going to get without mixing? Was thinking I'd paint my Parts-Car-to-Runner Rocky in this color.

Someone did release a proper color match in a rattle can. I will try to find the name. It wasn't Tamiya.

RCKicks has a video with the "formula" if you want to mix your own color for an airbrush.

I haven't found the video. :( I found one in which he painted the Optima and it turned out well, but that was a custom mix for the airbrush. In another video, he painted an Ultima with a rattle can that was supposed to be a perfect match, but the color was not at all close. It was so far from the wheel color, he bought new white wheels :lol:

Thanks for checking. I posted in the RC Off Topic forum that I found a post about a UK paint, but they'd need to ship to an exporter and I'm not sure about the quantities.
