Anyone have a suggestion for the red or orange or whatever the color is for a Foyt #14 Copenhagen Olds? Something in a Taimya spray possibly that matches the roof decal.

So i did a spoon test with Tamiya bright orange, orange and pure orange. The bright orange seems to match the roof decal color the best. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

There are two different sets that Mike did of that decal sheet. The first is the bright orange which is incorrect. The second was the actual poppy red which is correct. |

Well, it seems i have the bright orange version, so that’s what i will have to go with. May try it over red primer and see if it is better. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Did the bright orange over red primer, not an exact match for the version of the roof decal i have but i would imagine that it’s closer to the real paint. Gonna go with that and see how it looks. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...
