I have the new Salvino release of the Valvoline Buick and I'm a bit confused. Is the back end black or blue? Midnight blue maybe. It seems to look a little different in each pic I've found. _________________ SUMUS QUOD SUMUS |

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks it's dark dark blue too.
Compared to the 16, it looks blue. It's so dark that it looks almost black, I'm planning on using Tamiya TS55 Dark Blue for my build in the future.

Every other thread about this says the back end is black.
And the color guide and decal placement sheet that Powerslide produced says black.
So i would go with black. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Being a little color blind I was not going to say......
BUT.....Valvoline's colors are red, white, blue and black.....look at the logo. So makes sense. |

I notice the Valvoline on the pit crew shirts is surrounded with black and matches the portion of the car in question to me. |

Everyone has different eyes for color, but that headlight panel matches the blue Busch mountains better than that black Valvoline block to me.
I blame this on working in a bodyshop. _________________ Joe Oteri

The back of the # 27 Valvoline Car was indeed Black in 1981 & 1982. It changed to Blue when the sponsorship moved the Wood Brothers # 21 in 1983.
The front bumper filler piece is in its' molded ( i.e. -- unpainted ) black color. Cale Yarborough would continue representing Valvoline in 1983 with an associate sponsorship; this involved the rear trunk & taillight panel -- but not the back bumper -- being painted black with the " Smiling " Valvoline name in white. |

The reasoning for the black might be related to the color of the triangle at the bottom of the V in the logo. There was a Valvoline RACING Oil logo that had the triangle in black rather than dark blue, which was in the mass-market logo. Valvoline may have specified the later sponsored cars to use the dark blue, to match the mass-market logo colors - red, blue, dark blue. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |
