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.

Re: RC12i body color
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)

Re: RC12i body color
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.
Re: RC12i body color
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.

Re: RC12i body color
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!
