I used Tamiya TS-21 Gold (sides, top, and trunk) and Testor's TES1848MT Root Beer (Hood and top back trim and side scallop) for the body colors. Both are lacquer. I used Tamiya TS-47 Chrome Yellow for the wheels. I painted the interior semi-gloss black using Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black and then finishing with Testor's Model Master Acryl Semi-gloss clear.

Remember, there were several different paint schemes of this car.

This is the version I built:

Hope this helps!

The actual colors the car was painted were "UPS Brown" & Gold because these were the colors of the trucks of the sponsor Terminal Transport Trucking (& hand-lettered by Ken Binkley).

For 1972 season: Sides & roof were Brown. The hood & trunk were Gold with 427 wedge engine.

For 1973 season: the colors were sorta reversed because Jake (Elder) had trouble seeing the car on the track.......
Gold sides, mostly Brown hood, Gold roof & trunk (with later season coverage changes) with 429 Boss engine.
Mid-way thru the season a white band was added to the nose of the car.
