Here are the real original Rainbow colors for Gordons car. They were originally Dupont colors but would be Axalta colors today. This is from a Dupont brochure back in the 90's.

Very cool. I remember seeing interviews with both Rick Hendrick and Ray Evernham about these cars. The points that were interesting to me was that according to Hendrick they had to replace something like 10 - 15 front clips on Gordon's cars in his rookie year because of the number of wrecks he was in. Evernham in a separate interview stated that they painted all of the colors on the early cars and it would take days to paint one car. They went to vinyl decals for most of the markings later in the year.
