I was just curious about the asking for the new Cavalier yellow...are you sure that's the one you really want?
I know you didn't ask for a color opinion, but, that new Cavalier yellow looks like "highway dept.", "road sign" color IMO.
The reason I'm commenting on this is that "I" am considering yellow also on a Mustang.
A 2004 Ford color called "Chrome Yellow" is a much nicer color.
It's comparable to what they called "Corvette Yellow" in the older days.
Another Ford yellow called "Zinc Yellow" is a duller, less colorful yellow comparable to what is known as "Competition Yellow".
Pick up the May issue of Car Craft and check out the '77 Nova that was just painted in Ford "Zinc Yellow" single stage w/ a clearcoat over the top. It's not bad, but I thought it would've been better in "Chrome Yellow".
I believe this was somewhere around 2015, Rick, Rosie and Johnboy
