Yes, it was the Miller in 87 and 88. Sorry, but I can't help on the color numbers

I have the paint schemes for both boats that ran the green and gold at the office and I will be in later today. I will make myself a reminder to post them when I get there. BTW the only year they ran the gold was 88 as the Miller High Life. In 87 it was still Miller American.

Leave it to Mike to know that

Here are the DuPont Imron Numbers

Gold - 43484

Red - 29198

White - 7414

Green - 10552

I remember when I painted my 88 U-00 Miller a few years ago the white was a bit muddy and darker than what it looked like in the pictures so I went a few shades lighter. Just FYI

I currently run the 88 Miller High Life 1/8th scale. When I get home, I'll get you the DuPont Centary cross match for the Gold and Green. The white like Mike said didn't look right, so the local paint shop sold me DuPont Centary Pure white.

The colors I used are:

DuPont

Centari GM Med Gold 43484 A H

PPG

Deltron Metalic Green 47638

I used 1/32 pin strip tape for the red outline.
