N5-C003 CG901B Blue

A blue tone from the color line of the Number Five brand. The name refers to the CG901B Formula 1 car, whose light blue livery was among the most conspicuous on the grid at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.

Where the name comes from

The CG901 was entered in 1990 by the Leyton House stable. It had an exceptionally low, slender nose and tightly drawn flanks, and it was among the aerodynamically most ambitious machines of its season. The team struggled with it at first, but after the modifications to the version with the letter B, Ivan Capelli led the race in France for a long time and finished second. Light blue with white was the mark of the whole stable.

Use

• The depth of blue changes a great deal with what lies beneath it, as a light ground makes it glow and a dark one draws it into depth.
• Stir the contents of the bottle to a uniform color and only then start applying it.
• Keep the coats thin and give the part time between them so the surface does not ripple.
• To judge the result honestly, let a sample dry and look at it in daylight.

Who the paint is for

For modelers who build single-seaters from the turn of the 1980s and 1990s and want to get the characteristic light blue right. The shade is not tied to formula cars only, however, and will also serve well on modern car models and on small accessories where blue is meant to be bright and clean.

The volume, the nature of the binder and the thinning are given by the manufacturer on the packaging. Store the paint closed and out of the reach of children, and ventilate while working.
