I'm not sure if this has already been asked... but I would really like to get a yellow SS and paint it the color of the bumblebee in the movie. so does anyone have a good picture or actually know the color of bumblebee?

The Color is called Sunrise and from what I've heard, it's very expensive. At least 7-10K if you want a job well done. House of Kolor has it (or closest to it)

you could try for the color in the first one.
no idea what color it is, but its a few shades darker than what the camaro currently comes in.
maybe shoot some orange/gold pearl at it would help too.

i have a buddy who paints cars for Formula Drift... i'll see what he thinks.

Chevy would make a goldmine if they offered a bumblebee color choice.

okay just got an answer from my buddy rich (**** facebook is cool)
here's what he said:

as far as HOK Sunrise, its more orange than yellow, i think i've sprayed it before, or maybe it was Sunset i sprayed.

at the moment, i dont have a place to do cars as a sidejob for doin prep work n' all. thats why i've resorted to smaller jobs. would be cool to paint a new camaro tho. ha.

so he's sprayed it. not sure how much it was though.

Valspar makes it. Sunrise. House of Kolor calls it Sunrise Pearl. Code PBC30.

Oh, if you have it laying around, you may need the MSDS for it.
