Jeagermeister orange?... Help please
Posted by gjek on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 1:05 PM
Need help with a color. What color and brand is the orange on the Jeagermeister Porsche 956K that ran years back? I am painting a slot car body. As an armor guy what advice would you have for choosing the type of paint? I plan on a clearcoat to go over the decals before I am done.

you will need to go to an automotive paint supply store to get the color needed. The color code is 8C6, or orange livery from what I've seen. you'll want to primer before you paint. hope that helps some.

Thank you!!!  I guess the next question is who makes good decals for cars? I know where to go for armor but they don't make auto decals.

There are several companies that make race car colors, Testors MIGHT have it, but I think they still just have NASCAR colors.  MCW(Model Car World) probably has the exat color in a more manageable sized bottle with a better price then getting it from a auto supply house.  Plus they are formulated for models.  Another company called Finishers, will also probably have the paint color you require.  They seem to concentrate more on foreign colors.  For finishers you can check out http://www.rainbowten.co.jp/ to get them.

As for decals, Slixx is back in business last I heard, and can be found at detailmaster.com I believe they also carry decals from other manufacturers.  Studio27 makes Jaegermeister racecar decal sets for sure. 

I think you can find what you need with the sources given above.  Also the MCW paints I THINK can be found at detail master as well.
