Tamiya Chrome Yellow

has anybody used this color? is it supposed to be pearl or metallic? i thought it was a pearl but i just sprayed it on my Gallardo and it looks like Mustard Yellow, no pearl. was i wrong, is this just a solid yellow?

Yeah its just a normal yellow. Tamiya do do a Pearl Yellow though.
Check out A_C's thread, he's used it on his Lambo.

Good luck getting the Pearl Yellow in the U.S. It's a match for the yellow on the Acura S2000. Never been imported for the U.S. market. Hopefully soon the Clear Pearl will ship and you can overcoat the Chrome Yellow with it... - Mark

TS Chrome Yellow is Tamiya's match for Porsche Speed Yellow.

Yes, it is a solid yellow. Used it on my GT40, in different lighting conditions it seems to change form stark yellow to very orangey (if that is a word).

Phil, i thought you used Camel Yellow? wait did Tamiya change names again?
Also, my Pheonix Opel Astra calls for Chrome Yellow so i figured they made this color for this kit Scalemaster...guess im wrong. thanks guys, well i guess the good news is i dont need to clear coat!

Tamiya has TS-16 (yellow), TS-34 (camel yellow), TS-47 (chrome yellow) and TS-Pearl Yellow. All are solid yellow except the Pearl Yellow which was limited released with the Penzoil R34.

Chad, I was originally going to use Camel Yellow until DFV posted some pics that showed Camel Yellow was too orange. I decided Chrome Yellow was the best option, still not sure if I did the right thing! :)

Just use some Clear Pearl over it.

I just used it on my Lambo and it look good.

Vric...

i would love to use Tamiya Clear Pearl but its still not availiable in the US. none of the clear colors are and they keep pushing back the date. i still cant get primer so ive switched to Gunze. does Gunze have a Clear Pearl?

Strange.. I'm from Canada, and my LHS get it supply from USA...
