There is nothing to confuse, the boat was never painted red.Brett Buckmaster said:
It was a fluorecent orange which did not photograph well back then with certain films that were currently available. Depending on film type & speed many pictures made the boat appear red but it was not. There is a guy who has extensive unlimited hydro pics on his website & even talks about this effect & shows the differences in the Winston pics taken with 2 different films & speeds, I'll try to dig up the link.

To the true scale guys the color is SEM's Stop Light and you add it to the clear and spray it over the white base. Yes, Don is correct in that the color didn't photograph well. Thats why some pictures show it as red and others show it as orange.P THOMAS said:
Yes it faded like crazy..... but it was not red. I have about 25 or 30 pics from various test sessions & also I have a vast collection of Winston Eagle stuff like hats, shirts, posters, waterbottles, press release kit, buttons, etc. etc, most released by RJ Reynolds who sponsored the boat & basically everything is flourescent orange. The only stuff I have in the collection that's red is unauthorized or non licensed from RJR. I also had the opportunity a while back to exchange a couple e-mails with a guy from the late Steve Woomer's U-10 team. One thing he told me was they were thrilled when the U-10 got the Smokin' Joe's paint scheme as they absolutely hated trying to match the Winston orange paint during repairs & modifications (his words).
