Thank you,
I plan to keep the Vellano wheels that are on the car. Pretty big lip.

Take a look at Porsche's "Speed Yellow" or Ferrari's "Giallo Modena" to see if they are close matches. At least you will have real examples in the market today that you can try to source or match the paint.
It is always hard to tell from photos because of the lighting, but those two look pretty close to the SL photo that you provided.

Thank you Jackstraw
And thank you for not being critical of the color or sexual organs.
I think the color in the photo is pearlescent. I have Giallo Midas on my SE which is pearl/metallic. It is a bit orange and bright and we are looking for a bit more of a subtle pearl yellow for the SL. It's our toy/project. The paint shop actually suggested we get a jellow we like then add pearl. I may try that with the Giallo Modena. Thank you,
