I love it !!!
The red wheels with that shade of yellow is awesome.
Don't be surprized if I steal some ideas when it comes time to paint mine.
There is a guy I see at the shows that has that paint scheme on an old Ford.Everytime I see it I take a pic and put it in my paint pic folder.

The red wheels will be history. I'm planning on putting on American Racing torq thrust 5 spokes (with the shaded spokes). Having a little trouble getting the rear rims in the 8" width, but I've got someone working on it for me. I saw them on a yellow 1rst gen Chevy van on spring break Ft Lauderdale, 1973 and never forgot how good they looked on the van.
It'll be a month or so before I'll be able to post any pictures with more done visually, but will do so as soon as I can.
It's nice to know others like the color (it used to be flat black with the red wheels and dog dish Ford hubcaps). I thought about the color for a LONG time, and even a couple of guys who came in the body shop said I shouldn't change it. But the black and red rat-rod look just wasn't my vision for this van, so here we are. I'm just getting started...

It's a Chrysler color - 2007 if I remember correctly. It came on either a Crossfire or PT Cruiser. There were two yellows, one for each vehicle, that were very close, but not the same. They both have a pearlized second coat for the factory finish, but mine is just the base color, plus clear. I don't have the code with me at the moment.

I like it! Way better than flat black. I'ts hard choosing a paint color., Did you use a pc program that lets you "visualise" diffrent colors on your van?

No, but that would have been nice. Actually, I had a 66 A100 30 years ago that i painted yellow, and I've kind of been partial to it since. Getting just the right shade was the trick, and I hope I've got it here. Seems so.

Bingo!!! That is the exact color I am going, 2007 Crossfire yellow. It has a great vintage hue to it. Love it.

Did I say the red wheels were awesome ??.... Hmmmmmm....
What I meant to say was You should ditch those red wheels and try to find some nice Torq thrust 5 spokes.The shaded spoke ones actually, I think they would look great !!!

Pics in the booth do not do that color justice. It is a great color, here is a picture that shows it a bit better in outdoor lighting.

Well, KGDB, that looks like the color I was going for, and the car I saw it on (PT Cruisers of the same year look the same to me, but apparently aren't, but they're close.) Your pic looks a little darker, but hard to tell on the Internet. (Try comparing these paint chips on a website paint chart! Impossible!)
I'm anxious to get it out in the light but we're doing other things before it is ready for the road. Now is the time...
