Does anyone know the RAL colour code for the gold used in the John Player Special, as featured on the old Lotus grand prix cars?

No idea, but I'll ask my mate tonight, he's got a JPS Elise. He probably won't know to be honest but I'll ask anyway, he has had to have repairs made to it after he rear ended it into a tree 6ft in the air so he might have some paper work.

Actually I was thinking of using a thin skin of Playdoh.

Have to be careful not to mix the colours though. Don't want it to be brown...

'The flying shite' if you will....
