Question is how close is the color to EL5 Bahama yellow? Any first hand accounts or opinions? 5958593-685810757.jpg (609 downloads) 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

Question is how close is the color to EL5 Bahama yellow? Any first hand accounts or opinions? One of the guys in our club worked on the editing with the first color. They ended up using some school bus yellow. IIRC, the original color would like wash out or something. Had to re-shoot everything. I think this was about when things were starting to move from film to digital also. I remember him saying the video vs. film has some different color nuances. Or at least at that time. I saw one of the cars when Julius did some work on them. But that was a long time ago. They were TV/movie cars...Looking good on TV and looking good in person are two different things.

Notice how the '71 FY1 HEMI 'Cuda doesn't look "lemon twist" due to lighting & shadows. 5958723-HEMI-FY1.JPG (358 downloads)

He was kind enough to pm me the name of the painter/paint shop that mixed his EL5, and I accidently deleted the info 5958777-5439067-IMG_4164.jpg (606 downloads) 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

I was looking at the car up close while Don and Cheech were sitting in it waiting to leave. A lady walks up and says "Ohh isn't he better looking in person?" and I said "Huh? Ohh I don't care about him I was looking at the car" Don kinda looked over his shoulder and then they took off shortly after that. 72 Demon 340 71 Duster 340 Resto https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1

You can't blame the lady for thinking that; After all, you were in San Francisco Thanks for your input 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code
