Hi guys,

I am getting close to the paint stage of the 'R' replica and am agonizing over what colour to paint it.

I had all along in my mind that it would be the traditional white, but now have second thoughts. Gulf colours would look great and as we are starting with a 'clean canvas' so to speak, would not be that hard to do.

But what are the period correct colours for a '67 car ? Gulf sponsorship didnt appear till late '60s right ??

Pics of the remaining real "R's" are either white, Silver or maybe orange. What other colours are correct for this period without slipping into the bright colours of the early 70's ??


I would hate to ruin the work done in creating a reasonably good & sympathetic clone of an R with the wrong paint.

What does the board think ?
