competition orange help!

Post by matocaster »

A while back someone posted a link to competition orange aerosol paint. I'm looking to find some now and cant seem to find the post, I did a search on the boards and came up with nothing :( I do remember it was a reply not a thread post. Just curious if anybody knew where to get the orange?

Thanks so much

Hello mate - the subject came up in a thread about my comp orange project - I sourced some from Manchester guitar tech in the UK. he doesn't advertise it on his site but he had some left over which I purchased:

That may be the same stuff. My early Googles told me it was Testors Grabber Orange from the Ford Mustang.

Mato, Testors makes a Grabber Orange Spray that is spot on for the main orange. It looks really damn good too. It's in smaller cans, but that's no big deal. You can find it at any good hobby shop.
