Millenium or Slingshot Yellow

Are these two the same color? If not what are the paint codes for each?

How difficult to paint is Millenium Yellow? Is it a Tri-Coat system?

Thanks,

Scott

By the way, checked autocolorlibrary.com and they just use general name. But I did find millenium yellow code as 79U, but can't find slingshot.

Slingshot Yellow is code 79U. Brian Rupnow painted his roadster pickup in this color.

Ive got MY on my 05 Vette. It was an extra cost option because of the three part process.....

Well It looks like Millenium and Slingshot are the same yellow. And being a three part paint scheme are very unforgiving according to Brian.

Does anyone have another yellow paint recommendation. I'm looking for a very bright yellow. But I need it to be bit forgiving. It has to be a PPG color, cause thats the only paint available here. Looked at zinc yellow, and it seems to be aa little whitish. Anyway, lookin for recommendations.

Thanks,

The two yellows I use a lot are the Ford Mustang
"Chrome Yellow" which is very bold, and the Dodge Viper "Dandelion", which is a bright and very clean yellow, which I personally like better.

If you want hurt your eyes yellow , Bright and Vivid.
Look at the 70's VW yellow , I think its called sunshine yellow , I shot a Minx Manx Dune buggy with it , and man was it bright , and the color was real clean, no muddy look like some yellows have .

P.S. I sprayed PPG's DCC single stage on it , I dont know if it can be mixed as a BC/CC . And the coverage was good too !

SprayTech:

Could it have been Saturn Yellow? That looks like the one your talking about.

I'll have to check in my paint chip book at work tomarrow , I sprayed that buggy body 8or 9 years ago,
I have slept a few nights since then ;)
Saturn Yellow just doesnt ring a bell though .

There's 96 Corvette Competition Yellow.

Henry:

That looks real nice? I've forgotten how good Competiton Yellow looked.

By the way, the reason I'm asking for suggestions is that here in Saudi, yellow was banned for all cars except taxis. Mine will be one of the first real cars to be yellow. The dealers don't even sell yellow cars yet, so I can't look around for a color I like.

Thanks,
