Which color for GT40?

Hi, I made a 2-3 year pause from modelling and now I want to start again
I bought myself a compressor and new, much better airbrush, but I need new paints for the models I build. For my Ferraris I will use Revells no. 34 paint, Ferrari red. But for my Fujimi GT40 I would like to have an exact replica of the original color. Can anyone help me with that? I had ordered some paint years ago from modelcolorworx, but that page seems to be dead now, unfortunately.
Any help would be appreciated

Gulf Blue GT40 I presume?
Based on personal experience you're best to mix it yourself. It's a matter of personal taste and I never found one that looked right to me. Best results I got were with Finishers Gulf Blue lightened with with white and a touch of grey.

Re: Which color for GT40?

Ah, sure, I forgot to tell, sure, the blue/orange color
I found some colors at mediamixhobby, but they cancelled my order as it is not allowed for them to ship colors?
I know they do not make the laws, its not that I am mad at them, more at the laws...
Where do I get the colors, I live in germany...

That are the colors I would like to have:
SPBC02 Scale Production Gulf Blue for my GT40 and
SPBC09 Scale Production Rothmans Blue for my Williams FW16
I was able to order the orange color here in germany, but the Scale Production seem to be much better choice than the colors which are available here...
Or I haven't found them yet
Any help is appreciated.

I don't understand why you order SP stuff on HK shop, SP is Germany based and has his own online shop...

Might be, because I didn't know that
Thanks very much for pointing me there
Edit:
OK, I found the shop, but they don't have the colors there any more...
So I am right back from where I started... How to I get those bloody colors...

Re: Which color for GT40?

I looked there, but I need to provide the exact Color name, year and paint code, which I was not able to find via google. Well, year is no problem, my car is from 1968, but what the color name and code is, I have no idea
Ah, I forgot, I need the Williams FW16 Color, too, so, year again, no Problem, 1994, but what the color is called and what code it has, no idea.

Re: Which color for GT40?

Yes, I already found that one, dunno why I didn't get the search results a few days ago, but anyway.
Gulf blue / orange is ordered, but I am still searching for Rothmans blue, as it clearly says in the item description, that the blue there is from different color.
