anyone know if any "off the shelf" colors will match the box art orange paint from any different manufacturer? my LHS has a crap selection of paints

Faskolor by Parma has 2 different shades of bright or flourescent orange. I believe one would be too dark, the other too bright. Mix the 2 toghther, and voila....

actually i found a bottle of createx that matched perfectly over the weekend, the faskolor stuff looks good in the picture but was too dark or neon, i looked at both of those. thank you for the links

I would put more than a couple drops of white in with the stock Creatix/Fascolor stock orange. It's not 100% accurate.

On a similar note, the side panels on the buggy, the lightest color, is it white or just a really light color blue?

White.
