Orange!Can anybody tell me what color this is
It fall between yellow and red on the color wheel. Did I win?


Sorry, not sure if it's a mix or stock color. Good luck!

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!

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.
