FORD GT GULF Blue {Heritage Edition}

The color

The light Gulf blue is among the most easily recognizable colors in all of motorsport, and the Ford GT carried it in the form designated Heritage Edition. The shade is aimed above all at car models, but it will serve anywhere you need a clean light blue with no cast toward gray. The paint is mixed as a finished shade, so looking for the ratio between several bottles falls away.

Preparing the surface

Light shades forgive less than dark ones: putty, sanding scratches and differences in the color of the parts all show through them. Level the surface before painting, therefore, wash and degrease it and apply a primer, ideally a light one. Only on a unified base does the blue come out in its true saturation, and at the first attempt.

Application

Stir the paint thoroughly before use, so that the shade is the same throughout the bottle. Choose the thinner intended for this line and the thinning ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Apply in several thin coats and let each one dry before you add the next; one heavy coat runs and floods the detail. Before working on the model, try the shade and the thinning on an offcut. If you are going to apply decals and clear coat over the paint, use a clear that is compatible with this line and go by the instructions on the packaging of both products.
