One thing I'd like, though, is to get that darker yellow look. It's probably just lighting, since later catalogs appeared brighter, but this is the shade I remember, and would like to achieve. There's probably a Testors spray that'll do it, suggestions?

Rustoleum Painter's Touch marigold yellow #249862 is a very rich yellow gloss and is the color I shot this V2 with. I shot my Bandit with Rustoleum sun yellow wihich is a paler yellow, and this is how I patterned the fin can.
