What paint is an accurate match for Ferrari Fly Yellow?

[3.Star]

Hello Ron,

I got the code for Glasurit's Fly yellow: 5204191. They are listing two kinds of Fly yellow. The mentioned one is for the cars of the 80's. A good paint shop can use this number to mix up the right tone by using a colorchart. Porsche's speedgelb (speed yellow) will match as well.

Hope that'll be a little help.


Cheers

Michael

Chrome Yellow is pretty close. It's super bright, maybe half a tick too bright to be "Fly". The Camel Yellow is much darker, almost a camo shade.

Tamiya paints go on real thin, so a good white primer is a must with light colors. Using a light gray primer may tone down the yellow just enough to match, or it could make a mess.

Hi Ron, Try ColorRite. They do automotive paint and claim to be able to match just about anything. I bought a 2 oz touch up bottle of 1961-67 Honda scarlet, enough for maybe 40 1/12 scale bikes, and it looks real enough. Fast service too, mine took about 4 days from order to mailbox. It's an acrylic lacquer , so I was concerned about it attacking the styrene . I did a test strip with patches of different primers and a bare patch, there was no noticeable difference so I used Floquil primer with good results.

Thanks gents!

I couldn't find Ferrari Fly yellow, but I did find Porsche Speed gelb.

A little pricey, but it is a custom mix.

Thanks again.

Ron
