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.
Happy New Year Martin and thanks for the tip!
BTW, I am Dutch…

Try this guy. I got my orange and blue (baby blue) from him.

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:
