I'm on a bit of a Reynard kick and want to build Gil de Ferran's Valvoline machine with Speedline decals. My question is what paint you would recommend for the blue on this car?

Thank you for your help!

Of you can find it, Testors released a series of NASCAR sprays and Valvoline blue was one of the colors. I'm sure MCW or Scale Auto Finishes also carry Valvoline Blue as well.

I got a Valvoline Blue from MCW that I used on Al Unser Jr.'s '92 winner. It is a very deep blue and looks correct to me. I have found them to be a reliable source of spot-on colors. They have Foyt's orange and Petty's blue that are right. Good luck.
