C-West R34 colour?

Slightly OT

Does anyone know for certain what colour the C-West R34 Demo car is? I'm thinking it may be Nissan Lightning Yellow, but it looks a little darker than that??????:confused:

Does'nt C-west always paint their cars silver??? That looks much darker than the yellows Tamiya provides, you can probably get that color with a paint-brush but I doubt you'll get that shade with a can.


:)

I think the closest to that paint in Tamiya is Camel Yellow.

Close but no cigar. :smoker2:

I've used camel yellow, it's too dark.

If your reffering to Tamiya paints IMO chrome yellow is the closest.

If your reffering to more paints chrome yellow is almost there but I think there could be closer ones. That yellow seems to be a tad lighter than chome yellow.

Anyways, I'm painting my C-west/nismo skyline with chrome yellow. :)

Hey Bah Hum Bug any pics of the Skyline?

The C-West skylines paint job looks like Pastel Yellow, its not bright, but not too light, it like a Pastel or Cream Yellow.

You've seen mine in my R34 in my SAS 350Z post. All I've done so far is fix up some imperfections. almost ready for painting. :)

I'm working on the SAS 350Z, expect to get update soon.

Sorry for getting off topic, just wanted to answer shorty's ques.

Don't know for certain, but maybe you could source some "Blaze yellow" Subaru paint..

Tamiya has a c-west r34??
how much is it??

No, u have to buy the bodykit from Chris from www.scaleautostyle.com

How about Chrome Yellow with pearl over it? Or camel yellow with pearl over it

i like the idea of the "usual" silver C-West car. but if you've already done your Nismo one silver, i can understand if you would want a change.

The only 2 yellows i've ever used is Sun yellow and Fire yellow.. The sun yellow is almost that color, but it would need a gloss coat over it, its almost a flat yellow...if thats possible.

Come on, guys! He's not talking about hobby paints, he's talking about a colour match from the real Nissan colour range. i'm sorry I can't help you on this one, Chris, I have no idea :(

Ah, at last, someone on my wavelength!:D :D :D

Yes, appreciate the suggestions guys, but i'm hoping someone can tell me what the actual colour is so i can have it mixed. I thought that maybe it could have been featured in a mag at some time and said so in there.

Try contacting Nissan ;) I've had good luck with Ford aand Peugeot when I needed to find out the colour codes for their cars.

The code wont be a problem, just need to know what the colour is first.

Is that the same as the special paint that's for the pennzoil R34?

I think its Processed Cheese Yellow:D j/p

Seriously though, it does look like the same color as that 350;)

I disagree on that one;)

This is supposedly sun yellow.....just thought I would add it for reference.....problem is, the light the photo is taken in makes a huge difference....

And the 350Z is nowhere near the same yellow IMHO.

taht cwest nissan pic was taken while the sun went down or behind a mountain (typical place for japanese racing circuits:D ) so it is really hard to find out what exactly without contacting nissan or c-west!

btw chris,what to do if i wanna order stuff from you but dont own a credit card?:bloated: :cry:

That my problem too, but im getting my older bro to pay for it for me and im giving him cash for it.

damnit,nobody from my family has a credit card,since it isn't the regular stuff here in germany:bloated:

OPM - You can send Euro's if you're willing to do so. PM me to discuss;)

pm'ed you;)
