After a rather cool damp winter further progress is now being made on painting the Bumblebee. I have given a lot of time trying to decide if I was going to tint the Sunflower yellow to match negative stripe from 914 rubber or use the Sunflower Yellow (L13K) as it is and not concern myself with a small difference between the paint and the negative stripe. I have decided to use the Sunflower yellow and live with any difference. Alex the painter called Friday and said that he had received the paint from his supplier and on first inspection it seemed quite different from the stripe. A big concern of mine is that we don't have anything sunflower yellow to match to except the stripe.
 This is the can of paint as it arrived from the supplier. It is Axalta single stage paint. Under fluorescent light it seemed that difference was greater that under natural light. |

Back in the day, I matched the yellow paint to the vinyl stripe.
You can get it pretty close, but after years, they will fade at different rates. Do your best, enjoy your car, and after a couple fingers of bourbon... the colors will look like a perfect match. -Rusty |
