I done mine ('99 and '01) in TS16 but I'm pretty sure it would be in pearl yellow

It's pearl yellow but I don't know if TS Pearl Yellow is still available...it was when the Pennzoil kit was new then the paint went out of production, then they made more later...but now I don't know if it's around.

Thanks guys... Would spraying yellow then clear pearl over work?

Not unless the pearl in the clear is yellow, that pearl clear looks horrible if you're talking about TS Pearl Clear.

If you can't get good pearl yellow then TS 16 would be the next best color.

It seems that the pearl yellow for that car is no more, but if you take the solid yellow and mix in this yellow pearl powder from Wave in the clear coats it should look ok.
You can get it from Hobbysearch and it takes just a tiny amount to give a sparkling effect.

Edit:
I have yet to try the yellow pearl, but the purple looks like this when put on a black base coat.
