The color is called Champion Blue. If you want exact, I'd go find the paint code and use the real color to paint the model. That's what I'd do.

the LM was painted a silver like color factory I believe. I would go with something like that.
typically nismo edition Nissans are shot w/ that silver-gunmetal color. I like tamiya's light-gunmetal, not too dark, not too light.

My supra is in Light Gunmetal. I really like it! I think the Skyline would look nice in it! Good luck! :lol2:

thanks for the help guys.... but actually this is a Blue GTR, not silver, I belive u guys think im trying to buld the GTR LM Road car... but im not im doing the 95 LM Edition GTR, which is Champion Blue *(thanks malsheem), but I was wondering if TS-44 is good enough for it, which I believe it is, because I already its already done painting... =D thanks guys.. should be starting a thread soon on it.

well, if you were concerned about it being too light, you couldve put a black base coat on it :)
