Gulf Racing colors for wall paint?

I'm redoing my garage, and thinking about using the Gulf Racing colors for wall paint.

Does anyone know what color codes might match.

I know the names are: 3707 Zenith Blue, and 3957 Tangerine. I don't know how to convert these to a wall paint code.

Has anyone any clues short of trying to do it by eye.

Thanks,
Nick

Gulf has used a bunch of different oranges and blues over time. Here are a couple of garage pictures I found:

I don't think tangerine is "Gulf Orange".

I think Sherwin Williams can match anything if you had a sample - even a large enough photgraph if the colors were accurate. Good luck - it's a great idea.

That's really sharp. I'm thinking of a similar theme.

Love the Gulf colors, but as someone else mentioned, I believe the colors have changed quite a few times over the years.

I love the gulf colors, but I think it would get annoying over time... that's a lot of wall color to look at constantly.

I've a little garage with some friends and we had painted in Gulf colors.

we use light blue on the top, orange line and dark blue on the bottom (because we are working on our cars and it goes dirty easily)

as light blue(PPG 12163)
as orange (PPG 60812)
as dark blue (PPG 13126)

If i'm not wrong.
