Now....which color is it?

[slomove]

In the paint job thread I challenged you guys to guess the vehicle this paint code was borrowed from. Some good guesses so far (without even seeing the pictures) but nevertheless not correct. Remember the correct answer will win you an 8-hour passenger trip up and down the Angeles Forest Canyons (repeat: accommodation and airfare NOT included)

 

Now here it is ....and no, it is not School Bus Yellow and it is not Taxi Cab Yellow nor is it Mazda Competition yellow.

Now that is funny, the forum software removed my directly linked picture. I put it in again, let's see if it sticks.

 

..........Hmm, no it does not. I can not link to a picture here, you have to use to use the Picasa link above.

 

Otherwise I begin to wonder if this should better be under "Off Topic".

I don't know what you call it, but it certainly looks great--esp. compliments that polish job on the bare metal.

Gert,

 

Whatever the color is, it looks great! All new paint and a fresh polish job on the ali. Stunning.

 

Is it the yellow from the Cobalt SS?

I like that color! It goes really well with the polished aluminum.

[7veloce]

Porsche speed yellow! Am I right on this?

[Jim F.]

I'm almost sure the color is Caterham yellow. Without a side-by-side of my car to compare, it's awfully close.

[Boxologist]

yellow from a Honda S2000?

and yeah, the polish job on aluminium sure is a looker

[slomove]

You got to think outside the box.....(literally)

No, it is not Caterpillar Yellow or DeWalt Yellow, either.

[soareyes]

Mellow Yellow from a Mini?

[JohnCh]

Scion yellow?

[MHKflyer52]

Gert,

 

DHL Yellow or thetruck line called Yellow's Yellow.

 

And your polishing tallents are way out their. What is your secret.

Since I'm at work and can't view any of the pictures, I'm just guessing that it's John Deere yellow?

[yellowss7]

Looks great. Not sure I'd like to polish all that Aluminium, Doesn't look like my Ferrari yellow, but it does look similar to Lotus yellow.

John Deere yellow? I've heard that John Deere yellow and green are very close matches to the original Lotus 7 BRG and yellow.

I would say that John Christensen is on the right path (box-wise) but not entirely there yet. Think a slightly bigger box....

School bus yellow?

[soareyes]
