And Another Paint Question... was created by Tinkicker

Seems to be the topic of the moment.

I am trying to match up Yamaha Competition Yellow with available rattlecan paint.  So far in my research I have come across two apparently very close possibles:

1.  Ford Signal Yellow.
2.  Fiat Broom Yellow.

Does anyone have any experience of which is the closer match, or can suggest another, better candidate?

Obviously, being in the UK it will have to be paint that is readily available for European vehicles.

I have come across specialist paint factors that can mix competition yellow and put it into rattlecans at a eyewatering price, but as I often bleat, the D100 not being particularly popular or valued in the UK, I am working to a very tight budget and an exact paint match is not worth paying through the nose for.  My 175, yes, 100 no.

Duplicolor DE1642 Engine Enamel might be worth a look if you can get it in the UK...  matched a Yamaha yellow pretty close on a bike I had years ago.

I bit the bullet and did the ford yellow (I'm a mopar guy), it looks really good. Also used the 2K clear, that stuff is the best!
