Yellow.... I like a bright yellow a lot, but I would never paint my car that color. I enjoy seeing other cars painted yellow though. I saw an IROC-Z at Englishtown Racetrack and it was painted yellow. It looked really really good. If I had another IROC on the side as a race car only.... I'd MAYBE paint that yellow.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that yellow does look really good.

IMO yellow CAN be a good color if it is accented right with black or another color that goes good

Mine is the original yellow, but it's not real bright or saturated like a Vette. I never wanted a yellow car, but bought this one because it had everything else I wanted. Now the color has grown on me and I love it. The only problem is it's a cop magnet, so I have to watch myself. The GM color code is 50 and I've had a hard time finding touch-up paint at the parts store. When I give them that number they come up with a white Olds color. Anybody have a link to GM color codes?

I like canary yellow sports cars and older trucks. That's aboout all the vehicles I think it looks good on. I think the Camaro would look nice like that.
