bh1701 Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Any suggestions on duplicating (or even coming close) to the Competition Yellow shown below that is used on the new Corvettes. Scale Finishes does not have this color available. Wondering if there were any cars in the past that offered something close to this that Scale Finishes might have. I'm open to any paint manufacturer's products. Thanks, Bart
stitchdup Posted May 16 Posted May 16 if you dont mind ordering from abroad, both hiroboy (zero paint) and spot model stock it 1 1

Vessey Posted May 16 Posted May 16 If you already use Scalefinishes you can email them the paint code to request colors that aren't on the site. They will send a PayPal invoice, so let them know if there are other colors you want in the same order. When I got a custom color it was no extra charge and shipped within a couple days of paying. 1
bh1701 Posted May 16 Author Posted May 16 Was Accelerate Yellow a previous name for the Competition Yellow Metallic color? Here is a picture from the internet of a Corvette in Competition Yellow. Looks a lot different than my 1st photo that I pulled from the Corvette configurator on the Chevy website. The yellow is nice, but I kind of like the gold color in the first image I posted. Thanks, Bart
bh1701 Posted May 16 Author Posted May 16 Did some more research and found out that Accelerate Yellow and Competition Yellow are 2 different colors. Here is a shot of Corvettes in each color - the Competition Yellow is on the left, Accelerate Yellow is on the right. Bart

Good to see a photo of a model in the sunshine with this color on it! With your Camaro, did you use a white primer under the yellow? Bart
Can-Con Posted May 16 Posted May 16 This is also Tamiya pearl yellow but looks completely different. It's over bare plastic. Be aware though, being yellow, this paint is quite transparent and can under some circumstances have a green tint to it when used over grey primer.
