Not really. I found it on Rennlist. Here's one that includes a description. I also included another pic with 2 colors side by side.

Looking at photos of Conda, Signal, Viper, Green, and Zambezi it's difficult to tell them apart unless they are side by side.



Thanks,

I'm going to order a few custom mix spray cans so I can compare colors first hand. I think it's going to be either viper green, conda, or 2D8 Green from the 2007 GT3 RS.

Have you considered Irish Green?

I like the Irish green; I've lusted for the second car you posted. However, I have the need for a bright color. 2D8 from the 2007 GT3 RS is growing on me.

Here's a comparison between green (on the car) and signal green (sample). Too close to call IMHO.

Hmmm; looks like I need to get a spray can of signal green also. The two you show look very close. If anything, the signal seems to have a little more yellow in it.

It also depends what primer goes under the paint and even what brand of paint.

Time to build the rotisserie. I have a great starting point; it's a rotisserie built to assist with assembling aircraft landing gear doors - big aircraft.

So far I have cut the sides off of the rotating section. I plan to cut the sides off of the bottom also, and add a third leg and wheel to each end. Off to find a couple casters, and start welding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Irish is tough to argue with, but if you're after more color—and maybe something different than the Viper/Kelly/Signal (all of which look great) but still "period"—you might want to look into Gelb Grun or even Acid Green.

Gelb Grün on a GT3 RS:

Acid Green on a GT4 and 918

And, finally, good old Birch Green (I think...):

So, I've made some progress on the rotisserie. I've added a third leg and caster on each end, and removed the steel connecting the ends to each other. During March I need to make the mounting sections to connect to the 914 bumper locations, and get the car on the rotisserie.

I'd like to have the car as balanced as possible. Does anyone know the center of gravity vertically at the bumper mount locations?

Love the Lime Green. Love the wheels also; I plan to have mine done the same way.

I've made some progress in the rotisserie. I expect to have it complete this week; I just need to add the mounting points to the arms and finish the paint.

The next project on the list is to cut the front oil cooler outlet hole once I decide which methods of venting to use. I like the PMS kit, but I don't think the outlet vent has enough open area. I also like some of the project pics I have seen that have the outlets in the wheels wells.

After the venting holes are complete, I'll put the car on the rotisserie and start stripping the bottom. I'm thinking of using the Upol Raptor on the bottom.

The Moritz race car is Conda Green. I've seen a Conda Green car in person and that color is soooo fantastic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Nice job on the rotisserie...I would be interested in "renting" it in the future if that is an possibility. My friend sold the car to Forbes (so he could in turn provide it to you). I believe we spoke awhile back as you were "determining a course" for this car - looks like it is gaining momentum. Good job!

OK, I admit it. I keep coming back to lust over the paint on your car.
