                        Hi there!

                        I bought a 1/32 Caterham 7 Gulf 2002 by Hornby (ex Airfix?) but somehow there is no reference for the paint color / brand of paint.

                        Does anybody know (or have from another model kit) paint number / brand name that match the Gulf Oil Blue & Orange?

                        Where are you?  From your avatar and the smurf I presume UK?

                        Halfords do Ford Riviera Blue and Rover Vermillion (or Ford Carnival red - suite yourself) in rattle cans that are a pretty good match.

                        Hope this helps a little - Martin 

                         

                        p.s. this question comes up a lot - have a look back through some previous threads and I'm sure you'll find other answers.

                        I know Finishers make matching colours for these. If you can't get hold of that, maybe Hiroboy as well - I haven't confirmed whether he's got these specific colours, though. But I expect he may have.

                        Hi all,

                        thanks for your input.

                        Meanwhile I have received the following feedback from Hornby UK themselves:

                        QUOTE

                        ...

                        The paint colours for the Caterham 7 are listed below. These are
                        Humbrol Colours...

                        Body = 47 Sea Blue Gloss
                        Floor ( Inside & Underside ) &                         Cockpit = 33 Matt Black
                        Seats, Wheel Rims = 21 Black Gloss

                        Exhaust, Wheel Rims & Lights = 11 Silver
                        Springs = 19 Red Gloss
                        ...
                        UNQUOTE

                        I hope somebody else will find this information useful in future.
