I'm digging the 70s feel of Signal Yellow right now. I've narrowed whitey's choices down to 936 VW Silver, Light Ivory, or Signal Yellow.

Here are a few pics of some signal yellow cars, does anyone have 914 pics in signal yellow?

*EDIT, I removed the 914 pic I put it, it didn't seem like signal yellow to me*

Had a '73 LE about the same color.... loved it! So did the cops....

+ on signal yellow awesome color.

Ever since I saw an early tail-dragger in Signal Yellow, I thought it would make a good 914 color.

Go for the Signal Yellow.

Cool color! it's almost orange. I plan to paint my yellow (orignally nepal orange) project car another color other than summer yellow, like signal orange. Just looking at that picture I would have thought that color was signal orange....

It is a bit orange, but side by side they're definitely quite different.

Getting an accurate idea of colors from pictures on the web is pretty difficult. There are tons of places where errors creep in...

there was at least on factory M471, originally painted in signal yellow

but I didn't see in in person yet ...

Here are a couple Signal Yellow teeners!

Are those signal yellow? I'd like to see some better pics. I guess I should check out Gustl's thread!

I could be color blind! They could be signal orange but they kinda look like the picture at the top of the thread. Maybe it is the sunlight hitting the paint. The picture should give seanery an idea of a teener painted that shade. Terry

You could even cover the sail panels in stainless. Laser cut some fake vent slits or add targa badges. That might be too much? Someone could photoshop it.

the cars in these pics above are definitely signal orange (1410, L20E)

signal yellow looks different

ooh, theres a new owner on the bird, says its signs yellow, ill have to borrow the pics.

The new owner of this 72 is really enjoying it, and says its signal yellow. I'm not sure if it is but it looks nice!

My vote would would be Nepal Orange...

Is this signal yellow?

I don't think so, but it's an old photograph.

All of these pale in comparison to Blood Orange / Tangerine - the very best color for both tail draggers and teeners!

my problem with any of the oranges is just there are far too many GT flared orange cars. Not that there's too many, but orange is just a popular color right now. I'd like something correct to the era, and the signal yellow is definitely more of a rare shade than light ivory or silver.
