TOPIC:

What paint is the most color matching of the yellow on the Falcon?

I've found some Striker rims in my spare bin that needs a refurb.

The boxart is the less worse for me...

Not sure if you can get it where you are but I have had good luck with the Krylon fusion brand paints, they stick well to out type of plastic ( lexan bodies too )

Or find plastic primer for automotive bumpers like ixell brand. And auto paints.

IIRC the yellow plastic parts on the Falcon are the same as CVA shocks wherever you find them - half free-range egg yolk, half unripe lemon. If you want to use Tamiya PS paints, TS47 Chrome Yellow would be a better match than TS-16 Yellow, airbrushed X-8 acrylic Lemon Yellow would work (evidently Tamiya were looking at a ripe lemon), my "favorite" Hycote - Daytona Yellow and Ford Signal Yellow would both be wrong, but AA yellow could work.

It's all supposition/opinion, look on Google image search for real world examples of various yelllows, never trust the colour on the caps, paint books/swatches aren't that great either.

Thank you

That's was the info I hoped to get
TS-47 it is lol.

I take white primer will be best for the that color?
