Looking for Competition Yellow paint for new Corvette

[bh1701]

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

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.

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

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.

Tamiya pearl yellow maybe?

Thanks, Jeremy!

I was looking at some of Tamiya's Yellows and the Pearl Yellow looked nice. 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?

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.

I used white primer under it

Actually, I believe it was tamiya's light gray primer
