Cobra Motor Gulf Blue

Cobra Motor Gulf Blue by AMMO of Mig Jimenez

A light blue with a deep orange stripe is one of the best known racing liveries there is. It appeared on endurance prototypes and on circuit specials, and to this day it is one of the few schemes that even someone with no interest in motorsport recognizes. Cobra Motor Gulf Blue is a shade that aims at that livery both by name and by tone.

Beside the blue, the Cobra Motor line by AMMO of Mig Jimenez also carries the matching orange, so the pair of colors needed for the whole scheme comes from one line and the shades need not be hunted across makes.

Where the color comes in useful

• the bodies of endurance and circuit cars in the racing livery
• a light blue base under masked stripes
• motorcycle models and their cowlings
• pit equipment and accessories for car dioramas

Tips for masking the stripes

First apply the lighter blue over the whole body, let it cure thoroughly and only then start masking. Press the edge of the tape down so the orange cannot creep under it, and spray the orange in several thin coats. If you are going to do the stripes with a decal instead of spraying, prepare a smooth glossy surface underneath. Check the thinning and the suitable thinner against the manufacturer's data on the label.

Who the color is for

For car modelers who build endurance classics and want the characteristic blue mixed in advance. It also serves those looking only for a light blue for accessories.

Store the paint well closed and out of the reach of children, work in a well ventilated room and protect your airways when spraying.
