Just swap the chrome bits for black and it'll look great. Thanks Boss that looks really nice
I think it looks ok without going black pack.
There seems to be a few different Gulf Blue's around, the earlier GT40/ Porsche seem a little darker and the Aston's are much lighter.
I didn't realise it would be so hard to choose
I like the blue and orange on this one

It looks really smart but I wasn't going to do the wings orange, not sure about the stripe yet either, might just have the nose band, any thoughts?

SOme footage here of our Gulf car on the move with our other Supersport - looks better than the pics. I miss it but we needed an SV in addition. If we have to paint one of the cars next year I'm going back to Gulf colours.

Gulf car is 20 secs in, onwards.
Don't think you'll regret it.

Yep that's mine, although not a very accurate model. Chris Cooper did get official Gulf backing, a picture here of the car (looking better than now) and the model. I'm rather hoping it means my car is worth a significant premium...Seen some sources for the paint codes on the internet, some list Triumph colours, but I think that Porsche were the first:
Gulf Blue - Porsche 73 - Code 328 or J9
Gulf Orange - Porsche 72-73 - Code 019
For Royal Blue you can take a Dark Blue
I think I'll try and get the Royal Pin Stripes done on mine if I can before I put some clear-bra on the car (to keep it looking nice at/after the track).

From the mini forum that I found some time ago when trying to find touch in paints.

A later post confirms that they are Porsche colours as boss351 says.
However my car was originally sprayed by Caterham when new (2004) and when I bought it two years ago they supplied two pots of touch in paint. So they should be able to help with colours.
I think I got the Triumph orange to spray the 7 grill. I wouldn't want to use it for touch in on my car, it was much warmer when seen side by side but OK for the grill.
