Picked up one of these kits hoping to support the guys over at Salvino’s. I will admit, my knowledge isn’t the best when it comes to cars prior to 1984. Does anyone have any reference pics or insight on engine or chassis colors? I have been told the chassis and cage was Silver by someone, green by someone else, and spatter Gray. Any help would be appreciated

Having trouble finding the thread/post, but i'm 95% sure it was spatter gray.

If I remember correctly what I read, the 1980 version had a teal interior. If you Google for pics, you'll get glimpses of a strange, green hue and you'll know you're looking at the 80 car.

Any suggestions for a close enough Green to use?

I thought I saw something in one of the facebook groups recently. One touch ocean mist maybe?

 Here's the 1980 car at Daytona. Silver/grey. ![]() The 1979 car 'Spectra' is the teal chassis. |
