Hi. As the title suggests does anyone know details of the paint used on 90's Leyton House cars? Colour name, code, manufacture, matching alternatives etc? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Motor Sport Magazine has a forum you may have more luck asking there.

Some discussion of the colour and paint there:

I know that "Composite Guru" on here built a Leyton House model recently, and I'm sure he will have got the colour spot-on. Might be worth contacting him.

Sadly enough I've got a bit of original Leyton House aquamarine body sealing tape (picked up at a test session) which I always thought might come in handy in the unlikely event of me needing a perfect match for a model. Trouble is I forgot where I put it...

If memory serves is RAL6027 with an additional tinter. If you want something painting that colour speak to First Place Finish as they pretty much know the make up of every F1 colour ever off the top of their heads!

Have just dug my Tamiya 1/20 scale Leyton house 891 kit out of the loft (I'll build it one day, I promise!) and the instructions tell you to use Tamiya TS-41 Coral Blue.
