PORSCHE GULF BLUE

✨ PORSCHE GULF BLUE is one of our most requested colours, and for good reason: consistent batch-to-batch matching means the bottle you buy today sprays exactly like the one your build needs next time.

No car wore Gulf's powder blue more famously than the Porsche 917. Fielded by the Gulf-JW Automotive team between 1969 and 1971, the 917 in this livery became a fixture at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Sportscar Championship, and was immortalised on screen in the 1971 film "Le Mans," where Steve McQueen's character piloted a Gulf-blue 917K. The pairing of this soft blue with Gulf's marigold orange remains, decades later, one of the most requested liveries in scale modeling.

Engineered specifically for high-precision scale modeling, this paint reproduces the exact desaturated tone of the original Porsche 917 livery. Its fine micro-pigmentation is optimized for 1:18, 1:24, and 1:43 scales, preventing heavy paint buildup over the 917's distinctive curved bodywork and vents. The paint comes pre-thinned and ready for airbrush use, ensuring smooth atomization straight out of the bottle.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A White or light Grey Primer is highly recommended to keep this pale blue reading bright and accurate rather than dull.
• Painting Technique: Apply in wet, controlled coats with slightly overlapping passes, taking extra care around the 917's curved intakes and vents where paint can pool.
• Finishing: A Gloss Clearcoat is recommended to reproduce the polished factory shine and to protect the orange stripe and sponsor decals during handling.

⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes

Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula has been laboratory-adjusted to mitigate the "scale effect," ensuring light reflection on the miniature is proportional to the real car.

Visual note: Digital images are for reference only. The true depth of this blue is only fully visible after the model has been painted and properly clearcoated.
