I just ordered a set of Oriol Servia Telefonica Reynard decals from Indycals. What would be the best color match for this car?
Thank you in advance for all of your help!

You're guess is as good as any... I used Tamiya TS22 Light Green - probably a bit too green, but probably the closest you'll find in a can.

Anyone know a former PPI painter with a good memory for PPG paint codes?? LOL Jordan I know the person that painted the car and asked him about the paint colour prior to making my model. He responded that he mixed the colours by hand until he liked the result. Unfortunately he does not remember the exact paint and proportions used. But he did say that it was green/yellow mix with metallic mix. It is mor green than yellow without the direct sunlight. The metallic portion is what makes the paint appear yellow in photographs. I used TS-52 candy apple green over TS-16 yellow. The light coat of TS-52 was pretty close but I could not attain an even thin layer with a rattle can so ended up doing a second coat that made it even but too green. |

The yellow is a very interesting color. I own an endplate from the front wing of the car, and I would say 90% of the time you see the yellow more than the green... and even when the green is visisble, it is not as "green" as the Tamiya Candy Lime Green.

This was a cool looking car, simple but the colours work well together. Look forward to seeing how you go.

Thanks everyone for your help and pictures, these are excellent detail shots! I am going to try to do a mix of Tamiya TS-16 Yellow and the TS-52 Lime Green and see what I come up with!
