Zero Paints ZP-1034 Lotus Essex Blue Paint 60ml – Specialist Acrylic Paint for Car Models

The Zero Paints ZP-1034 Lotus Essex Blue Paint 60ml is a professional model paint dedicated to automotive modelers seeking a faithful reproduction of racing car colors, especially classic Formula 1 cars. The formula was developed by the renowned British company Zero Paints, known for its high-quality products intended for painting model cars and motorcycles in popular scales such as 1/24 and 1/20. The offered color, Lotus Essex Blue, was precisely matched for a perfect fit to the original livery of the historic Lotus F1 cars from the 1980 season, used by the Lotus team under the Essex sponsorship.

This is a ready-to-use paint, pre-thinned for airbrush application—no additional thinning required. Thanks to its acrylic base structure, the product provides smooth coverage and quick drying while maintaining the original gloss typical of automotive paints. It is ideal for recreating cars such as the Lotus 81 (used by the team in Formula 1 races during the 1980-1981 seasons, in the post-classic – 1980s F1 era), when Essex Blue was the team’s official color.
Developed with professional modelers in mind, this paint allows for accurate reproduction in line with original specifications. It achieves a deep, metallic shade that perfectly highlights the details of recreated racing car models.
