Hi,

I'm restoring a Turbo Scorpion, and I have a problem with blue paint for box-art version :|
I can't manage to determine which spray paint would be as near as possible of box-art blue for this car.

Could you help me to find it ? If you ever made your Turbo Scorpion like this, which blue paint did you use ?

Thank you,
CyberFox.

I would say Pactra rc 252 Blue ... I used the Pactra stuff a few years ago with an airbrush system as they offer a good bondage with lexan (NOT the fluroscent...there I use tamiya) and they offer the paint in small glass and spray cans and there was/is a "dark" blue like ink...if you have an LHS next to you still offers pactra paints (glass) in a "display" you could compare the blue color... Also tamiya offers a dark blue "PS4"...

thank you.

I ordered Faskolor fasblue 40004, I just received it today.
I'll tell when body will be painted which is the result :)

My Turbo Scorpion is finished, Faskolor blue is a good one for this car :)

This car has been the best application of Murphy's law I never seen ( :evil: ) but finally excepted paint defaults on chassis and body, it's not so bad.

When I got it, it was like this:
