tamiya "pearl yellow"?

I was told that the tamiya "pearl yellow" was the most accurate color for the Pennzoil nismo.

I assume this was some limited edition paint like the "alpine blue" that was made for the A110.

I know that "alpine blue" is now TS-54 light metallic blue. did they do the same thing with "pearl yellow"? the closest thing I can think of is TS-47 chrome yellow.... Is it the same?


Thanks!

No, they haven't rereleased TS Pearl Yellow yet...I hear the instructions call for TS-16 Yellow as an alternative..

damn...

But there used to be a "pearl yellow" for sale before, right?

oh!

Maybe this (http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?FLGFG-03) mixed with X-8 would do the trick....


EDIT:

DAMN I gotta find this stupid color spray, look at this http://www.automotiveforums.com/scalemodeling/tazdev/PennzoilGTR.html The car is so much better looking with pearl yellow!

WOW!!!!

why don't you PM Tazdev and ask what color it is??

ummm it already says it's the pearl yellow...

The have been told correct color for the Pennzoil Nismo is Chrome Yellow, TS-47.

Chrome yellow used to be a limited production color, but due to the popularity of the color, they created a code for it and made it a standard color.

I have yet to see pearl yellow anywhere.

What I don't understand is why they would call it "chrome" yellow if it's supposed to be a pearl color, there's pearl blue, pearl white etc...

Chrome Yellow is probably some metalic yellow paint...

I'll have to see it for myself.
