Best regards,

I had asked exactly the same question Steve from zero-paints. Here is his reply:

This is the colour I think as it was a BP Sponsored car

I am currently using this color and so far it looks fine in my opinion:

Mr Color #66 Bright Green is also an excellent match for BP green. I used it on a Lotus build..

FWIW: Here's what TS-35 looks like straight out of the rattle can. I've been trying for months to obtain a can of Mr. Color 66 for Jordan builds, but it is impossible. So I tried an idea on a spoon: TS-35 sprayed over TS-44 Brilliant blue. It may not be exactly right, but I'm going with it. I might have used this combination for the Leyton House as well, but it's obviously too late now. Just food for thought for rattle can users. BTW, the decals are from Michael at Indycals, and the BP emblem on the rear wing element doesn't look too far off from the paint I used, the decal is just a hint darker.
