08 Bullit Mustang color

That is the one I have been looking for. Many, many, thankx.

The MM British racing green is the closest I have seen to the Highland Green Poly. This was an acrylic enamel used in the sixties. The new Bullit Mustang (2008) has the base coat/clear coat and has been matched (hue) to the original 1968 color (so says a Ford engineer who worked on the 08 Bullit car project).

Rivits? On a car? I'm an airplane fanatic, but like to do an occasional car and the Bullit Mustang is a natural for me because the movie is one of my all time favorites. I know I saw an add in FSM, or on this web site, for a company that makes vintage car paints for models, but I cannot find it now. Thanks guys, if I find the "right" paint I'll post the information.  

accually I believe he got a replica made from a dynacorn because they wrecked one of the originals and the other is in a private collection and the owner says he wont sell for any amount of money.

The original car was dark green.  I caught something on television of an interview with Steve McQueen's son discussing the cars.  Apparently McQueen managed to keep one of them.

I would say they are close but not exact.

The 2008 is Dark Highland green and a modern B/C paint where the 1968 is Highland Green and old 60s enamel.
