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.

Re: Color Question For Gtr Builders!!!

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!

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.

thanks guys
