Those in the reading audience know of the color scheme I mean. The Gulf car driven by Steve McQueen. I'd like to do the floor of my garage in the robin egg blue with the stripes and a number plate. Anyone know the official paint codes for the colors I could take in to a Sherwin Williams or Menards?
As my friend Ben Bostrom has on his helmet: "I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere, than in any city on Earth." S. McQueen

Why the Gulf Porsche colours? Do you have a Porsche? I would have thought you would call it the Gulf GT40 colours.

There are lot's of examples in Google images.
It was the "Gulf Oil Livery" and you might find a car model with the colors.

There must be some anal Revell modeller [club/member] somewhere that has exact color matches if the registered trademark color s aren't easy to find. :-)
