I am looking to do a T2 box art paint job and need recommendations for the colors to use.

Man,I second that!
When I bought my new T2 body,I called Associated and asked if they had any colour photos showing the box art paint job-Nothing.Nada.
So,I painted that body in a different style.
This is the best one I've found,since then...A photo of an actual truck would be better,though.
Seeing that I have some new decal sheets,I'll be buying another body and painting that one box art style.
Here's the only pic I have of a box art T2.Great trucks!
I'll never part with mine...Repro decal sheets coming soon.
Keep an eye on B/S/T for them-This will be the only place I'll be advertising the repro decals for sale.You guys deserve it!

Anyone? I need a color match for the dark red.

there are so many variable that can change the way a color looks. i doubt i could tell you exactly which colors were used. just go out, get some paint, and start mixing them until you get the shade your after. that's what i'd do.

i'd be willing to bet it's all pactra.

Yep,Pactra's a good bet,scr8p.
These are all of the box art photos of the T2 I have,here ya go...

i wouldn't go by the last 2 pics. they aren't the boxart body.

these are the colors i think i'd be starting with:

sprint white
outlaw black
daytona yellow
flouresent red
metallic red

Yeah,they're close,but used the different color decals that are supplied.
I'm real glad the T2 body is still available...I just wish the decal sheet was as easy to come by.
I have a mint,uncut RC10T decal sheet that's at the printer,right now.
That sheet came with the T2,along with the fluro red and yellow 'RC10T2' decal sheet.
Sounds like you got the colors right on,scr8p,ol' buddy.
