Hi.

My 1st post from this UK modeller. Its great to be on this nascar specific forum, have'nt built them since 1998.

So, Metro Paints, as listed on my Slixx sheets. Am trying to find yellows N127 and N115.

Not to buy, but images of the shades so i can match them with spray cans that i plan to use.

N115 for a #75 Remington and N127 for #77 Jasper Engines.

Another place to look would be MCW Paints. I have figured out a few conversions from their paint lists. For example, the Jasper yellow is their “Lemon Yellow” and i am not sure how that would convert to Tamiya. But others, like “Roman Red” i think would convert to Tamiya Italian Red.

Metro Paints were made by William from BSR who also was the man behind WetWorks. All are long gone and missed.

The Jasper Engines is as was said a lemon yellow. There are a couple of Remington yellows. If you are doing the 1998 Taurus, I remember it was fluorescent.
