That was a tough one to do. I finally got it by using Model Masters Phoenician Yellow #28102 and Future over it to get a shine. It is a dull gloss paint, but the Future does the trick nicely. Perfect match. My car is in the pack on top of the Proxies page. viewforum.php?f=35

Careful about that big decal on the trunk lid. Its a bear to get straight, bubble-free, and "laid in" with softener.

Be sure to post a photo.
