Styling Need Matching Yellow Paint for Timing Belt Plastic Cover

[stevenk9958]

I made repairs to holes I had in the yellow plastic timing belt cover for my 1978 Fiat 124 and want to spray paint it to make it look uniform. Has anyone found a yellow paint that matches this plastic cover? If so, would you share the Brand and name of the color? See attached pic of cover before repairs.

Thanks much!

try a paint store specialised in car paint.
they can match and mix the color there.

the cover that you posted has about 30 different colors, which one do you want?
I picked one spot which you might like.
rgb(248, 220, 50)
CMYK(0, 11, 80, 3)
Color HEX Code: #F8DC32
Try this link here to see if this is your color

not sure where you are located at but there are 16million + colors and they are pretty simple to mix.
you just need a sample.
try here, here you can order spraypaint using HEX, CMYK, RGB, ...
See if that is your color that you want.
HEX Code: #F8DC32
or HEX: #FADF2E

If you can, pick a automotive paint that uses a harder rather than just spray paint and it will last much longer...please post the paint you decide on for the rest of us! Good luck! And cheers, terry

If painting a plastic component use the correct primer and paint types. Auto paint factors will help and are often cheaper than shops and garages.

Thanks to all who replied! I found a Dupli-Color Engine Yellow at O'Reilly's Auto Parts that seems to be a pretty good match. It was a little too shiny so used a matt clear coat to tone down the shine and think it will work well in terms of durability and matching the original color.
