please ladies and gentlemen, I would need your help!

I want to use the right color for my soon starting project Hasegawas Antarctic Research vessel SOYA http://www.hasegawausa.com/product-images/hsgs0023box-lg.jpg

The ship have a Special orange color and I did found out that there is also a special color set for it from Mr. Color (Mr. Color set CS-613). The set includes the color SC-08 "alert orange".

I can not find that single color anywhere but I could get GSC173 "fluorescent orange". Could this be the same color as the above mentioned and be used for Soya? Thanks for your opinion!

Best Regard

Thomas

Hallo Thomas,

I carry the CS613 sets. The Alert Orange is not the same color as GSC173 fluorescent orange.
The set is still available here in the USA, although it cannot be mailed to Europe as the paint is flamable.

Hello Harry,

thanks a lot for your help. What a shame, I would have bought it from you if it were possible to ship. Looks like I have to hunt it down here in Europe. I also mailed Mr. Color directly but regrettably didnīt got any response from them...

Best Regards

Thomas

Hey Harry,

thanks again for your help but I donīt find Mr. Color at their Colors page maybe they already dropped it for other Brands.

Arrgh! Soya is coming soon and I dont have the appropriate Color for it

Cheers again mate!

Sorry, I was thinking LifeColor.
