Topic: Yellow top coil restoration tip

[KevinK]

Painting the coils top yellow has been around for some time now.  No one really advertised what paint they used.  I know of one judge who would let it slide if done well.  I saw one last week on a $100K Boss 302 that had sloppy paint lines.  It made me question the whole car.  We have a lot of "quick paint job" restorations here on the west coast as rust is less of an issue.

If you are going to do it, do it well. Otherwise, questionable work just leads to closer inspection of everything.

Of course can't find the correct paint color

are you referring to the yellow or the black?? the yellow is mentioned in an above post. for black i have used SEM trim black #39143.

I think Dkutz means he can't find the yellow.    I can't either but looks to be available via online such as:

Yes, can't find the yellow.  I will try a couple other places tomorrow before I resort to ordering it.

Color must be discontinued.  I drove all over looking for it.  No luck

I will keep looking locally.  hopefully it shows up.  If not maybe I will bug on e of you to ship...

I bought from Home Depot online. I picked up at store so no shipping. This was the least expensive and least hassle for me . Others experience may vary.

cool I will try that.  Want to do some more detailing before I hit the new year show circuit...

Home Depot online only sells by case,  and isn't sold in stores.  I've don't want to spend $30 for a case of paint I need paint to cover a two inch circle

If you spend hours driving all over kingdom come looking for it then you can be seen as being being penny wise and pound foolish. It depends on what you think your time is worth . For me it made more sense to suck it up and get the case then waste time and gas finding a smaller amount. But that is just me . Others my think differently.

I have time not a lot of money.  Just looking near home and work

Menards carries this item at some of their stores. Handy if you are in the North Central US.
Otherwise, this is how shipping works (for me):

Merchandise Subtotal: $3.68
Processing Fees:         $2.80
Shipping Charges:      $6.71
Pretax Subtotal:       $13.19
