    I did a test of that and it seemed too yellow for me (at least from what I remember), I like the green tinge in there. Tamiya also does Fluorescent Yellow that is a good match.

      yes it is a bit too yellow but "shrug" i'm gonna stick with it. looks close enough... plus i grabbed some BOYD aluma yellow pearl that has a cool irridescent flop to go over it. then i'll take it to work and put a nice urethane clearcoat with the next car i clear =)

                    not to worry, the Duplicolor gloss coat will smooth it out and make it shiny. It may take a few more coats, but in the end will be good. My decals were small too... Next time I will make a scale bar so they are sure to be the right scale. In my PDF, they are perfect for my 27" cat, but these are a little undersized. Fortunately, they come right off that Duplicolor top coat without removing anything.
