Hmm, orange.
We have a winner!
There's one in every crowd. Actually I was hoping for a more exacting color of orange. It is a box art color, just have no idea what shade/color.

In fact, I just noticed it's practically the exact same shade of "brownange" as this forum's text & title-bars.

Re: RC12i body color??
The Cooke Woods Lola T600 car was a pretty bright shade of yellow. I saw the car at Road Atlanta back in the 1980s. I would search for images online (there are many of them). I'm not sure why there are so many images that show the headlight covers and center of stripes/ numbers to be blue. They looked black to me. That shot that a01butal posted is reflecting a deep blue sky. You can tell because the windscreen is reflecting the same color. they might have changed it to blue at some point. These cars got repainted a lot . This was always a favorite of mine.

So it is. I usually do check the net for images, but for some reason I brain farted this time. So I guess I just need to decide to go "box art" or realism on the paint job.
Thanks guys!

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Print the picture out and take to a good paint shop, they have computers that can match the paint and give a color mixture, if it is a mom and pop shop they should not have a problem giving you the color ratio to get it pretty close.
