1966 Ford GT40 Lemans Light Blue paint match

[DanR]

All - any suggestions on a paint match for this color? A company called Magnifire released the 1/12 Trumpeter kit at a greatly reduced price and I'd prefer to do the #1 car. I see that Zero Paints has an exact match, but I think I'll need several bottles to do a big 'un like this!

It might be best to order a large spray can or bottles from a full size car car paint company.  Arcadian blue is the correct color.  I have seen many models of the 2nd place Lemans winner painted “Gulf” blue but that is incorrect.

Thanks Rex, this is awesome! The kit just arrived today. About $130 at MegaHobby, which is a far cry from the original Trumpeter price that I think was near $300.

Yes that is a very good price.
