If I were you I would stick with the yellow you have already used in the interior so your car matches.

I have seen it on a 1970 Chevelle 454 SS and P U. Now way man. He painted it a real yellow last year and it made all the difference.

I like the factory yellow for the '76-'78 cars. They called it Rallye Yellow.

I have a 69 911T that is Bahama yellow-although it actually looks very orange or toffee colored in real life. I concour my 911 and the color gets many comments both good and bad-I like it because it is different. It is also the color the 911T was painted that won it's class in the targa florio that year. I wouldn't mind emailing you a picture if you want-to help you decide-I know paint is a big decision. I have always been meaning to ask you if the nose of your car now is "raspberry" another early 911 color. I painted my 924 racecar that color it's first couple of years running. That also led to a few comments..... regards, Andrew

I got to clean the B-que today though Ive replanted the lawn adding lime grass seed soil lots of miracle grow.And Ive planted countless plants from germaniums to daisys,pansies,rose bushs, pruned up the existing roses adding miracle grow then I moved on to planting dahlia bulbs over 150 of those I still have the garden to do this weekend I guess. I even painted a bunk bed for my nephew bought it into the house and put it together.

So monday I picked up a bunch of 80 and 220 grit paper and a gallon of primer sealer.

Joe, Ful-Cryl and Select are Nason products we sell typically to the used car market and low end body shops. Centari is an old DuPont product not used for production vehicles. What are you painting with Centari, and what are you using the Ful-Cryl for? One or the other should work. Too bad you don't live in Ohio, I could have hooked you up a great price!!
